That's right. I believe that to re-use anything from objects.povworld.org
would need that authors permission. Indeed much of the thinking behind this
collection at lib.povray.org was to create something with a clear,
consistent and very open license that would help avoid that sort of problem
in the future.
If any of the contributors to objects.povworld.org would be prepared to give
their consent for objects to be reused under the terms of the license
governing the lib.povray.org object collection, then please make contact.
The lib.povray.org site is also designed to be largely automatic, avoiding
the problem of objects.povworld.org which was moderated and therefore
effectively stagnated when the moderator stopped processing new submissions.

Yes. That would be very welcome. You may need to do a small amount of rework
so that all of the files and exposed named elements (like variables, macros,
etc.) start with the same prefix. Otherwise you just need to register to
submit objects, which takes a few minutes.
