3 This file is part of a BETA-TEST version of POV-Ray version 3.7. It is not
4 final code. Use of this source file is governed by both the standard POV-Ray
5 licences referred to in the copyright header block above this notice, and the
6 following additional restrictions numbered 1 through 4 below:
8 1. This source file may not be re-distributed without the written permission
9 of Persistence of Vision Raytracer Pty. Ltd.
11 2. This notice may not be altered or removed.
13 3. Binaries generated from this source file by individuals for their own
14 personal use may not be re-distributed without the written permission
15 of Persistence of Vision Raytracer Pty. Ltd. Such personal-use binaries
16 are not required to have a timeout, and thus permission is granted in
17 these circumstances only to disable the timeout code contained within
20 4. Binaries generated from this source file for use within an organizational
21 unit (such as, but not limited to, a company or university) may not be
22 distributed beyond the local organizational unit in which they were made,
23 unless written permission is obtained from Persistence of Vision Raytracer
24 Pty. Ltd. Additionally, the timeout code implemented within the beta may
25 not be disabled or otherwise bypassed in any manner.
27 The following text is not part of the above conditions and is provided for
28 informational purposes only.
30 The purpose of the no-redistribution clause is to attempt to keep the
31 circulating copies of the beta source fresh. The only authorized distribution
32 point for the source code is the POV-Ray website and Perforce server, where
33 the code will be kept up to date with recent fixes. Additionally the beta
34 timeout code mentioned above has been a standard part of POV-Ray betas since
35 version 1.0, and is intended to reduce bug reports from old betas as well as
36 keep any circulating beta binaries relatively fresh.
38 All said, however, the POV-Ray developers are open to any reasonable request
39 for variations to the above conditions and will consider them on a case-by-case
42 Additionally, the developers request your co-operation in fixing bugs and
43 generally improving the program. If submitting a bug-fix, please ensure that
44 you quote the revision number of the file shown above in the copyright header
45 (see the '$Revision:' field). This ensures that it is possible to determine
46 what specific copy of the file you are working with. The developers also would
47 like to make it known that until POV-Ray 3.7 is out of beta, they would prefer
48 to emphasize the provision of bug fixes over the addition of new features.
50 Persons wishing to enhance this source are requested to take the above into
51 account. It is also strongly suggested that such enhancements are started with
52 a recent copy of the source.
54 The source code page (see http://www.povray.org/beta/source/) sets out the
55 conditions under which the developers are willing to accept contributions back
56 into the primary source tree. Please refer to those conditions prior to making
57 any changes to this source, if you wish to submit those changes for inclusion
