Couldn't you just disallow code theft in commercial products? That way, you'd
cultivate a greater amount of freeware programs that'd use POV-Ray's code, which
would speed along the development of such programs.

In any case, there's probably something I'm overlooking here. I'm neither a very
prolific coder nor a lawyer, so I really am not within my domain of knowlege
here.

You Know You've Been Raytracing Too Long When:
  Rather than hang a picture on a nail you just yell at it :
object {
 union {
 object{
 Painting
 }
 object {
 Wall
 }
 }
 And can't figure out why it keeps sliding off.
