Right, a modified version must state that it's modified.

POV enumerates "the four freedoms" but doesn't use the same
legal language as GPL. Essentially it doesn't matter what POV's
license is if you use the separate functionality equals separate
programs argument.

Additionally, POV is specifically allowed to be distributed in conjunction
with any free operating system licensed by FSF, and GPL
specifically provides an exception for such code. (Even though POV
has not been actually distributed that way to my knowledge, it could
be considered to be covered by this.)

I believe some magazine distributed a partial copy of POV
that didn't work right, along with the phone number of one
of the POV team as a support number. *RING* *RING*
