When I use antialiasing method 2 with the sse2 version of beta.8,
it crashes. Method 1 works ok.

Don't know if this is related, but:

When attempting to render a scene with focal blur, POV-Ray crashes, even 
a super minimal scene:

camera {
     location <0,.5,-5>
     look_at 0
     blur_samples 5000
     aperture .02
}

This crash happens regardless the AA method. I was using method one 
initially, but just checked with no AA and still crashes.

Is this process a hint that you're ultimately working on a truly GPL'able
version of povray?  Are yall progressively rewriting sections of code?

The reason I'm asking is that I've been doing some advocacy to get povray
included in some linux distros. I've already seen one case where someone
has misinterpreted the povray license.

The point is that if things are going to change "soon", meaning months
rather than years, I may just put my feet up.

At no point did the POV-Team ever publicly state that we would release a 
rewrite of POV-Ray under the GPL - to the contrary (search in the newsgroups 
yourself, please).  And there are no plans whatsoever to do anything like 
that for POV-Ray 3.7.  It has clearly been stated in the beta newsgroups 
what features POV-Ray 3.7 contains and it should be really clear that we 
will *not* be rewriting all of POV-Ray.  It has always been made clear that 
the version number of a fully rewritten version of POV-Ray will be 4.0 and 
not some "minor" version number change like 3.7 :-)

Then those who "misinterpreted" it clearly are unable (or unwilling?) to 
read or comprehend plain and simple English :-(  There is little one can do 
about such problems with a license written in English ;-)

Note that most Linux distributions do not require software to be GPL 
licensed to include it in their distribution.  In fact some of the most 
important core parts of nearly all linux distributions are under BSD or 
other licenses.

Also note that modifications of the POV-Ray license for version 3.6 made 
it specifically easier to include POV-Ray in Linux or other free OS 
distributions.

Just curious, which version of ICC did you revert from & to?

  What makes you think that publishing betas of an upcoming new version
in any way implicates a change in the usage license? I don't get it.

  Besides, why is everyone so obsessed with GPL? Why everything which
is open source must be GPL? Is GPL the only open source license in
existence?

  As an answer to the last question, try: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/
