Hi all,

<P>If some author judges he/she shall make his/her own product, nothing
sucks as far as I am concerned. It really is his/her right to do so and
you only should abide by the rules.
<BR>Think this author may not be rich at all either and may want extra
money to make a better living, now you understand the laws of copyright.

<P>One day you will want to make money yourself.

<P>If you have a permanent or temporary money problem and you still want
to do the thing, try and negociate some sort of arrangement with the author
himself/herself : #that# and only that is behaving in the real world with
respect towards others.

<P>The nice lads who did povray may not need money that badly or maybe
they do but they decided to offer povray for nothing, that is their choice
and only theirs, it should not bind any other author of any other program.

<P>Best of luck in your query,
<BR>Al.

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>Personally, I wish programs for use with POV-Ray
were freeware, or you can

are not
<BR>sharing in the spirit of POV-Ray by demanding money.  I say demanding,
<BR>because it is disabled unless you pay, and that really sucks. 
Moray is an
<BR>excellent program, not disabled in any way, has a tiny nag-screen,
and is
<BR>shareware.  I would definitely register it if I had any money,
but I am only
<BR>a poor student, and anyway, I don't use it enough to warrant paying
for it.
<BR>But there is no way I would give out a reg code for a program I had. 
I
<BR>suggest you get Moray.</BLOCKQUOTE>
