If your program is freeware then I still don't understand why you need to 
charge for distributing your program when the internet exists.  However, if 
you are determined to distrubute your software on CD and bundle Povray with 
it, then, as you determined yourself, you'll need to contact the Povteam to 
get permission (see bottom of legal terms for contact info).  I suspect, 
and this is my opinion only, that if your software really is freeware, then 
they will simply ask you to abide to the 2 cents per MB of content on CD 
rule.  If your software is not freeware, but actually shareware, commercial 
or a demo, then I imagine the terms will be different.
