Dear all:

I like POV-Ray and I think it's a good software to be introduced in my
home country. But language is a problem for ordinary Chinese people, I
want to translate all the POV-Ray user-tutorial and user-reference into
Chinese to help people get into this perfect software with less
difficulties. I checked the license, there is no separated license for
its documents' distribution. So I think it may follow that of the code
as well. Since it's POV-Ray license but not GPL, I read it and found it
"prohibit the derive from source code". I am confused if translation of
the document is some kind of derivation too. Could anybody answer me
this question? Thanks!
