Probably true. As usual, the key question is "does it provide a significant amount of functionality without povray?". That is to say, would it be of any significant use without povray? It seems that playing around with wireframe previews of a scene that I cannot render is not that useful... So, if no other package currently in main can make any use of .kpm or .pov files, I would say kpovmodeler should be moved to contrib... Or otherwise, povray upstream authors could be persuaded to relicense in a DFSG-free manner, so that we would *gain* one new interesting package for main, rather than *losing* one (that was wrongly placed in main). ;-) -- :-( This Universe is buggy!
