Sorry folks my packaging activities weren't meant to be directed against
anybody involved in the povray-package here.

It's simply that I have been actively using povray for many years and had used
some spare hours during the Christmas holiday to upgrade my local povray
package to 3.7.

I'd really love to see povray in Fedora, so reviewers and co-maintainers,
welcome!

Starting from v3.7 POV-Ray is licensed under the Affero General Public License
3.0 (AGPLv3):
http://www.povray.org/povlegal.html

This is a GOOD license for Fedora:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses

Please move the review there.

The proper way of doing this is: You first send an email to the Fedora Legal
mailing list, post the link of the distribution license, and ask them if it is
okay to include it in Fedora. If they say no, then you come to RPMFusion and
give a reference here to Fedora Legal's decision.

Well,

a) Povray is non-free. This is a well known fact for many years and had been
subject to many discussions.

b) Inclusion of povray into Fedora had been subject to discussions in the early
days of Fedora and was ruled out a non-free.

c) Maintaining povray as part of a distro puts the maintainer at legal risks,
because section 1 (esp. 1.2) of http://www.povray.org/source-license.html
renders povray's sources to be effectively unmodifiable (A distro's package
maintainer put himself under legal risks if he modifies the code).

That said, if I were prospective maintainer of an rpmfusion povray package, I
would directly contact POVray and ask them for permission.

 SPEC: http://pikachu.2014.free.fr/public/alexises/packaging/povray/povray.spec
 SRPM:
 http://pikachu.2014.free.fr/public/alexises/packaging/povray/povray-3.7.0.beta.38-1.fc13.src.rpm

Apart of what I wrote above, I don't see much sense in shipping
povray-3.7.0.beta. If RPMfusion wants to ship povray, it should ship
povray-3.6.x.
