Exactly.
Even if the POV-Team doesn't want to fully embrace the GPL, they could still
allow the code to be used in other projects without fear of exploitation,
though the inclusion of a clause such as "These conditions" (or some less
POV-specific subset thereof) "must extend to any software which makes use of
any code derived from this package".
Although I maintain that the GPL is the best option.  The blacklist in
POV-Legal is a pretty unpleasant relic, talk about holding grudges!
