Parallel rendering on multiple cores is already supported (appeared with
3.7).

The license for version 3.7 is AGPLv3. Notice that the license for
previous versions were different.

The main problem for rendering on multiple hosts is sharing the memory
of the parsed scene (and its radiosity/photons data if any).

You can obviously fork from the git repository
 https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray

Many people already did it.

About the branches: 3.7-stable is the slowest one, equivalent to
released version. master is more reactive.
(there is two other branches, but you might stay away from them)
