That is not a fair analogy. Arguably POVray (or ldglite or ldview) is the chisel
but the parts are a necessary part of the final work. There is no way to use a
typical LDraw file without the parts library to render a scene.

You haven't explained what relevance it has though. Do you consider ldglite to
be a derivative product of C, the OS and the chips it runs on? If so I'm not
sure how you can license the Windows version under the GPL since it is obviously
derivative of proprietary software.
