Hi!

I am the author of kpovmodeler (a kde povray modeler, see 
http://www.kpovmodeler.org)

I would like to include some povray example files in the distribution. Can I 
import scenes from the povray scenes directory into the program and 
distribute them?

The povlegal.doc says:
The user is also granted the right to use the scenes files, fonts,
bitmaps, and include files distributed in the INCLUDE and
SCENES\INCDEMO sub-directories in their own scenes.  Such
permission does not extend to files in the SCENES directory or its
sub-directories.  The SCENES files are for your enjoyment and
education but may not be the basis of any derivative works.
[...]

I don't want to use the scenes as basis of new scenes but to demonstrate the 
povray features and objects. The scenes (in our own file format, not the 
povray code) will remain intact except a comment at the begin that this is 
an imported version of a standard povray scene.

Regards, Andreas
