Just to make sure this does not get lost - nothing prevents anyone from
starting an 'open development project' based on the official sources
(within the restrictions of povlegal of course).

But you surely have noticed that none of the unofficial versions of
POV-Ray that exist is developed with free access to the working branch of
the code.

But getting back to the origin of this thread - somewhat more frequent
version updates are surely something a lot of people would appreciate.  It
is something Megapov tries to cover (at the cost of other things in which
official POV-Ray is superior to Megapov) although i admit at the moment
Megapov is not updated very often either.
