Hello,
I'm interested in possibly using POV-ray to create some nice graphical effects
for an existing commercial paint program (closed source). Is this allowed? I
think the answer is 'no', but I wanted to make sure.
....
This part of the POV-Ray Modification License seems to say no:
1.5. Neither the Licensed Version nor any Modified Version may be linked
into any other software package either at compile-time using (for
example) an object code linker nor at run-time as (for example) a DLL,
ActiveX control, OLE server, COM/DCOM server, or other remoting system
including, without limitation, any linkage that could blur the
end-user's perception of which program provides which functions.
But part of the POV-Ray Distribution License says this:
3.1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, and in
return for Distributor agreeing to be bound by the terms of this
agreement, POV grants the Distributor permission to make a copy of
the Software in any of the following circumstances:
(d) by including the Software as part of a Distribution where:
(i) neither the primary nor a substantial purpose of the
distribution of the Distribution is the distribution of
the Software. That is, the distribution of the Software
is merely incidental to the distribution of the
Distribution; and
(ii) if the Software was not included in the Distribution,
the remaining software and data included within the
Distribution would continue to function effectively and
according to its advertised or intended purpose;
Tom

What is your definition of "using" POV-ray? Perhaps you could be a little more
specific?

If you model a scene and render it with POVRay, the resulting image is
your property and you can do what you wish with it. Embedding POVRay
itself into a commercial application as the rendering engine isn't allowed.

ChiefArchitect uses povray as the render engine. I'm guessing it's
licensed.

No need to guess, that was the answer you received to your November 25th post about
it...

to be given permission is not exactly to be licensed.
