Hi folks,

we’ve been granted all the permissions for the new All-In-One-Installer we’ve
sought and based on these permissions a new license scheme for the installer has
been chosen. The text for the new installer dialogs can be found at:

All-in-one-installer dialog 1 - http://www.ldraw.org/Article481.html
All-in-one-installer dialog 2 - http://www.ldraw.org/Article482.html

You will find out that "Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 3.0
United States" http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/us/ has been chose
as license for the installer to meet the requirements of the granted
permissions. This should make sure that the software package as a whole can be
shared but not distributed through another website or say via a computer
magazine or dissembled with the aim to pack parts of the installer with other
programs.

If anyone has any queries or complaints about the license please respond to this
post.

I'm a little rusty with all these but I do believe you are MISSING POV-RAY 3.1g
which is the ONLY one that will work with MEGAPOV 0.7 which is the way we get
the "black" edge lines for making BIs.  Does the current AIOI not include 3.1g?
The curreent installer provides all 3 POV-RAYS.

In addition we are missing the persmission for the LEGO POV-RAY COLORS.INC file
that is installed when a user installed any of the POVs so that they get the
TRUE LEGO COLORS when they render.

I have to dig up who made the LEGO COLORS.INC file but I'm not sure if we have
his permmission or not.  I recall that he posted it on lignet for anyone to use
free of charge and modify as they see fit.

Need to look up on that one.


So this text should have...
Persistence of Vision Raytracer™ (POV-Ray™)
Copyright© 2004 POV-Team. Licensed under Distributor Licence Agreement for
Versions 3.1g, 3.5 and 3.6. http://www.povray.org/distribution-license.html for
details.


Need text for the LEGO COLORS.INC file as well.

Ahui

It appears that the current All-in-one won't overwrite/backup Pov's color.inc
with the LDraw color.inc. Furthermore their is no place I can download the file
- odd! Ahui, could you please post the file here. Otherwise we won't get any
clues who might has written it.
