I just went to the new POV-Ray MacOS web site. I like the layout a lot.
But I was there for the source code. I see "POV-Ray is not public domian..."
What?!? When did this happen? How are we to write our cool little patches?
Ect...

It is still there (and has always been on www.povray.org and
ftp.povray.org), I just forgot the link on the Mac download page :-(  The
link is back now, thanks for pointing this out!

It has never been public domain.  The license has not been changed.

It's free ware right...? That being the case it can be freely used and
rewritten under the assumption no one will try to exploit it... Free ware
guidelines... What was free shall stay free unless otherwise stated by the
original creator...
At least that is how i understood it...

No.  Read the license.

Not only does it have to stay free, it also has to stay POV.  You can't
use POV code in anything else.
