I'm wondering why the POV license doesn't conform to the Debian Free
Software Guidelines (http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines)
or Open Source Definition (it's basically the same thing). Why do they
not modify the license to make it conform and so then people would know
that is for sure free (I think that $0.08 thing is pretty stupid, but I
know there is more than just that that does not conform.

That pretty much sums it up.

I thank God that I have always had this remarkable mental ability to
somehow intuitively grasp the completely obvious.

It should also be clear that POV-Ray is _older_ (1991) than the Debian
license (1997) - a lot of people tend to forget that free(ware) software did
not start with Linux and its distributions.
