Does that mean I can release diffs of the POV source files, as long as I
don't offer any GPLed library (so someone who wants to compile this patch
has to download the libraries himself)? Can I release the fully patched
POV source files? I don't care, which license the patch will be released
under, because writing it is just a simple task of having a closer look at
Aqua Library and POV-Ray and then combining the two.
Otherwise I'll simply write an application, which exports the data as a
mesh2. Many people don't want to compile things themselves anyway.
