- POV-Ray Licence Agreement
- MODIFICATION TERMS
- Persistence of Vision Raytracer(tm) (POV-Ray(tm))
- 5 July 2004
-
-Licensed Version: Version 3.6
-
-Please read through the terms and conditions of this agreement carefully.
-
-This is a binding legal agreement between you and Persistence of Vision
-Raytracer Pty. Ltd. ACN 105 891 870 ("POV"), a company incorporated in the
-state of Victoria, Australia, for the product known as the "Persistence of
-Vision Raytracer(tm)", also referred to herein as "POV-Ray(tm)". In these
-terms "Licensed Version" means the version of POV-Ray identified at the start
-of these terms and all minor releases (ie releases of the form x.y.z) of that
-version.
-
-The terms of this agreement are set out at:
- http://www.povray.org/source-license.html
-("Official Terms"). The Official Terms take precedence over this document to
-the extent of any inconsistency. Except where POV has agreed with you in
-writing to the contrary, the Official Terms are a complete statement of your
-ability to modify the source code of the Licensed Version, to use any
-modifications of the Licensed Version, and to distribute any modifications of
-the Licensed Version. You may accept these terms by making any modification
-to the Licensed Version, or by distributing any modification to the Licensed
-Version. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms you must not make any
-modifications to the source code of the Licensed Version and must not
-distribute any modifications of the Licensed Version.
-
- 1. PERMITTED MODIFICATION AND USE
-
- 1.1. The source code of POV-Ray is provided to: promote the porting of
- POV-Ray to hardware and operating systems which POV does not support;
- promote experimentation and development of new features to the core
- code which might eventually be incorporated into the official version;
- and provide insight into the inner workings of the program for
- educational purposes.
-
- 1.2. Except as expressly set out in this agreement, or permitted by another
- agreement between you and POV, any use or modification of any POV-Ray
- source code is expressly prohibited.
-
- 1.3. Subject to this clause 1.3 and the balance of this clause 1, you are
- granted the privilege to modify and compile the source code of the
- Licensed Version for your own personal use if such modification
- fulfils one or more purposes set out in clause 1.1. Each output of
- such a modification or compilation is called a "Modified Version" in
- these terms and conditions. Nothing in these terms and conditions
- gives you any rights or permissions to use, reproduce or modify any
- part of the source code for any version of POV-Ray other than in a
- modified version of POV-Ray. In particular, no portion of the source
- code for the Licensed Version may, under any circumstances, be
- incorporated into any other program (or separated out to form an
- independent program) and all Modified Versions that you create must,
- in substance, be modifications of the Licensed Version.
-
- 1.4. You may use any Modified Version that you alone have created only under
- the conditions granted in the standard POV end-user license for the
- Licensed Version from which the Modified Version was created. As at
- July 2004, this licence may be found at:
- http://www.povray.org/povlegal.doc.
- Nothing in these terms permits any other person to use any Modified Version.
-
- 1.5. Neither the Licensed Version nor any Modified Version may be linked
- into any other software package either at compile-time using (for
- example) an object code linker nor at run-time as (for example) a DLL,
- ActiveX control, OLE server, COM/DCOM server, or other remoting system
- including, without limitation, any linkage that could blur the
- end-user's perception of which program provides which functions.
-
- 1.6. To allow POV-Ray to communicate with outside programs, the official
- versions of POV-Ray may include internal communication "hooks", often
- called an Application Programming Interface, or API. Modification to
- these APIs or other officially supported communication mechanisms (or
- the addition of any new code or feature) for the purpose of avoidance
- (or to assist others to avoid) the intent of this or any other POV
- license is expressly prohibited.
-
- 2. CUSTOM VERSIONS
-
- 2.1. Strict conditions and restrictions are imposed if you wish to
- distribute a modified version of POV-Ray, its documentation or other
- parts of the package, including any translation of the documentation
- into other languages or file formats.
-
- 2.2. For the purposes of these terms and conditions, a "Custom Version"
- means a Modified Version which has all of the following characteristics:
-
- (a). it must have all of the functions of the Licensed Version with all
- existing features, copyright notices, author attributions, all
- Licence Agreements, etc., intact;
-
- (b). any reference to the software being an "Official Version" in any
- files included in the Modified Version must be altered to clearly
- state that it is not an official but an unofficial version;
-
- (c). when used by a user it must be clear to that user:
-
- (i). that the Modified Version is a version of POV-Ray that has
- been modified, and does not appear to be another program
- that happens to have POV-Ray or POV-Ray functionality
- built-in;
-
- (ii). that the Modified Version is an unofficial version of
- POV-Ray;
-
- (iii). who is the creator of the Modified Version;
-
- (d). the Modified Version must include accurate information in the
- DISTRIBUTION_MESSAGE macros in the source file OPTOUT.H and must
- prominently display this information. This information must at
- least correctly identify who made the custom version.
-
- (e). It must display each copyright notice and credit screen which is
- displayed by the Licensed Version and do so in a similar manner to
- that of the Licensed Version. When each such notice or screen is
- displayed, the Modified Version must indicate that the version is
- a modified and unofficial version. In particular, if it is a
- version of POV-Ray that contains splash screens or about boxes
- (e.g. Windows, Macintosh) each splash screen and about box in the
- Licensed Version must be present in the Modified Version and must
- be rendered and presented in a similar manner;
-
- (f). if the Modified Version contains any feature that would cause a
- POV-Ray scene source file that works on the Modified Version to
- fail or otherwise work incorrectly on either the current official
- version of POV-Ray, or on the Licensed Version, then the Modified
- Version must check that the scene source file has a #version
- directive that includes the 'unofficial' token, and must only
- activate any variations from the Licensed Version (including, but
- not limited to, new keywords) if that #version directive is
- present. If that directive is not present, the Modified Version
- must work in the same way as the Licensed Version. An example of a
- correct 'unofficial' #version declaration is '#version unofficial
- megapov 0.7 ;'.
-
- 2.3. It is the intent of POV to permit modifications to the Licensed Version
- which are Custom Versions within the meaning of clause 2.2 and which
- incorporate a means of being controlled by other software where that
- other software has as its express primary purpose the ability to
- control or co-ordinate POV-Ray (or other programs in general) remotely
- for parallel or network rendering purposes.
-
- 3. CONDITIONS FOR DISTRIBUTION OF CUSTOM VERSIONS

- 3.1. You must not distribute any Modified Version to any person if that

- download, and the location from which it can be downloaded;
-
- and, in either case,
-
- (c). that source code must be licensed to each person who receives it
- under the same terms as these Modification Terms.
-
- 3.6. You may, at your option:

- to distribution of the Custom Version; and

- those portions of the Custom Version in respect of which you hold
- copyright on the terms of the standard POV end-user license for
- the Licensed Version from which the Modified Version was created;
-
- (b). POV agrees to licence each recipient of that Custom Version to use
- those portions of the Custom Version in respect of which POV holds
- copyright on the terms of the standard POV end-user license for
- the Licensed Version from which the Modified Version was created.
-
- 4. CONTRIBUTING BUG FIXES AND ENHANCEMENTS
-
- 4.1. POV is not obliged to accept enhancements and bug fixes that you submit
