<p>
<strong>INTRODUCTION</strong>
</p>
<p>
This document pertains to the use of the Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer<sup>TM</sup> (also known as POV-Ray<sup>TM</sup>). It
applies to all POV-Ray program source files, executable (binary) files, scene files, documentation files, help files,
bitmaps and other POV-Ray files contained in official Company archives, whether in full or any part thereof, and are
herein referred to as the "Software". The Company reserves the right to revise these rules in future
versions and to make additional rules to address new circumstances at any time. Such rules, when made, will be posted
in a revised license file, the latest version of which is available from the Company website at
http://www.povray.org/povlegal.html .
</p>
<p>
<strong>USAGE PROVISIONS</strong>
</p>
<p>
Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, permission is granted to the User to use the Software and
its associated files to create and render images. The creator of a scene file retains all rights to any scene files
they create, and any images generated by the Software from them. Subject to the other terms of this license, the User
is permitted to use the Software in a profit-making enterprise, provided such profit arises primarily from use of the
Software and not from distribution of the Software or a work including the Software in whole or part.
</p>
<p>
Please refer to http://www.povray.org/povlegal.html for licenses covering distribution of the Software and works
including the Software.
</p>
<p>
The User is also granted the right to use the scene files, fonts, bitmaps, and include files distributed in the
INCLUDE and SCENES\INCDEMO sub- directories of the Software in their own scenes. Such permission does not extend to
any other files in the SCENES directory or its sub-directories. The SCENES files are for the User's enjoyment and
education but may not be the basis of any derivative works unless the file in question explicitly grants permission to
do such.
</p>
<p>
This licence does not grant any right of re-distribution or use in any manner other than the above. The Company has
separate license documents that apply to other uses (such as re-distribution via the internet or on CD); please visit
http://www.povray.org/povlegal.html for links to these. In particular you are advised that the sale, lease, or rental
of the Software in any form without written authority from the Company is explicitly prohibited.
