The restriction is just a technical glitch. The intent is to keep that page
open, just on and off the server has been getting problems and resetting
the protections.
If it does persist, the IMP one will probably get mirrored elsewhere.

I understood from a mail message a few months ago that the password restriction
on the FTP server was there to allow people from behind firewalls to have access
to the server, apparantly there had been problems with people accessing the
server annonymously from behind fierwalls, but they could connect and u/l and
d/l when logging in as 'normal' ie with a password and login name.
Don't take this a gospel, it was a few months ago and I havn't got access to
those mail messages any more (suppose I could try as I've got the data files).

I specificaly queried the list a few months ago as to whether IMP-Pov was
going to be made public and I believe it was Nigel who told me that it
would remain in a non password protected are allowing public access. I
am sure that it is simply and oversight on the part of the web page
maintainer - who ever that is (Glen Berry ?).

The IMP is going to have to do something about it and soon. I checked with
Chris Cason and the IMP is in violation of POV-Legal by having it stored
on a password protected page. I have sent a message to the IMP mailing
list concerning this issue.

Suppose that for purely academical reasons I add some harmful code to
povray (for example direct support for crypted povray viruses in .pov files)
and give it to a friend so he can test it too. Does the povlegal require that
I make the source code public?

:)
Warp, you have got to let go of this virus fetish of yours. I don't
think it is good for your mental health.

I think technically, yes, it does. If you "distribute" it, you must distribute
it under the provided terms; otherwise, you don't have a license to distribute
it at all. There's no rule that says you have to advertise it, though, so you
could put it on a publicly available webpage with no links to it, as long as you
provided the URL to anyone who knew to ask. For that matter, you could just
email it to anyone who wanted it, as I used to do with the superpatch source.
If nobody knows it exists, nobody will ask for it.
Again, note the disclaimer in the .sig.

These are my opinions. I do NOT speak for the POV-Team.

The access restriction to IMP-Pov has be lifted. You can access the IMP-Pov
home page by following this link -

Or rather, the server permissions problem that accidentally blocked the page has
now been corrected.
It had also been accidentally blocking the "about this project page". That too is
now restored to proper public access.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
