To make sure this does not get misunderstood - nothing has changed about 
the intention that the next major revision of POV-Ray ("POV-Ray 4.0") is 
planned to be released under a new, OSI-compatible license.

Despite the major changes POV-Ray 3.7 is quite closely based on the 3.6 
codebase in a lot of things - which isn't a bad things since this is 
mostly well tested and reliable code.  This also ensures a high level of 
backwards compatibility.
