In fact, some contributors did specify that their code could only be used
for POV-Ray, perhaps due to constraints on their contributions due to their
employers or other parties. By allowing reuse of that code, we could be
getting the original contributor in legal trouble with someone who really
does care.
By contrast, some code in POV-Ray really is free: the crackle code in
3.1 specifies in the comments that it's public domain (though you should
check that yourself rather than take my word on it, because I'm just saying
that from memory.)
