YamYamさん、こんばんは。
久しぶりにPov-Rayの公式ページを閲覧しに行って見ると、こんな感じの記事がでておりました。詳しくは以下のPov-Rayの公式ページを御覧ください。

Moray acquired by POV; will be re-released as Open Source
Morayとは、POV使いの人なら、ご存知のPOV対応のモデラーとして、広く知られた存在ですが、いままでシェアウィアーでした。
これがなんと、オープンソースになるとしたら、ちょっとしたニュースです。
また、Morayの公式ページにも、以下のようなニュースが載っておりましたので、参考までにコピペしておきます。

Development of Moray has slowed tremendously over the last three years, mostly due to new time contraints that have been brought about by family and career changes in our lives. Instead of letting Moray come to an end, we have decided to have it live on in another form and have provided the source code rights to the POV-Team on mutually favourable terms. We plan to remain involved in further development, even if it is only in an advisory role (someone has to explain the convoluted source code ).

Over the years Moray has made POV-Ray accessible to many people and we hope this contribution will continue to allow even more to join the community. We will be releasing a final build without any registration requirements and nag screens in a few weeks.

To all our registered users, we extend a heartfelt thank you for your support over the years. Without it, Moray could not have evolved to the state it is in now. We are excited to see where Moray will go from here. Thanks also to our friends and family for the support (Angelika especially for taking care of the administrative side ).

今年の前半は、Terragen２に続き、ビックなお話し（かな？）
