I'm pretty sure that the only way to get a different set of terms on the
use of the source code is to get specific permission from the POV Team, but
I'm also pretty sure they/we won't give it lightly.  You might find that
ParPov, at http://www9.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~cnvogelg/pov2rib/ , is 
a better choice for your project.
