So, shall I go ahead and submit? The povray license had repeatedly been subject to fierce arguments. Several people (eg. me) consider it not to be an OpenSource License, but read it (IANAL) as a "Free Beer License" (You can get the sources, but you are not allowed to reuse the source code). May-be you should contact the "legal channels" of Fedora, the FF, the OSI, or may-be POV-Ray Ltd. to give a legally qualified statement on this.
