Ani2Pov v0.50 is available under the GPL v3 license.
This software convert .an8 files to PovRay, Ase and Videoscape file format.

http://texel3d.free.fr/projets/ani2pov/index.html

New features of this version:
#  It uses the last version of my .an8 file loader ( it must solve some problems)
# .an8 files from Anim8or v0.97 Preview are supported
# Ani2Pov can now convert .an8 file to PovRay, Videoscape (.obj used by Blender), and .ase.
# Ani2Pov for Windows uses WinForms and it recquires the .NET framework.
# The source code of Ani2Pov is now under the GPL v3 license.
# The Linux version will be available later (or sooner if you contribute).
# Please report any bugs.

Ths source code of Ani2Pov is available under the GPL v3 license but it depends on LibAn8 which is now under the BSD license:

LibAn8 is a C++ .an8 files loader library which developpers can use to load .an8 files in their applications (3d files converters, OpenGL or Direct3D games, renderers, ...).

New features of LibAn8 v8.5.18:
# The LibAn8 source code is released under a BSD-style license.
# Several memory leaks fixed.
# AN8XMeshFromSphere() optimized.
# New AN8X math functions added.
# CreateSmoothNormals() added (still alpha).
# GLAn8Viewer Updated (it recquires the last version of GLGX)

The source code of a very basic OpenGL viewer is available in the SDK. It depends on the GLGX library (an utility library like D3DX for Direct3D):

The viewer is also available as separate download (the .exe file)

Thanks! Unfortunately I can't make use of these tools (yet), but it's great seeing the progress :)

Just a note, you may want to change the Ani2Pov link you posted to the english version.
