Hi,

thank you!
yes, I also saw that the licence does not refer any more to the output (images),
only to the software itself. So if the output is no more part of the EUL, where
can I find the permission to (also commercially) use the output images? Or ist
this issue covered by the "Free Software" state of POV-Ray?

Thanks!
