Pine sources are legal to distribute. Pine-tracker (achitecture
independant) tracks source uploads of pine and warns the user of the
pine package about it.

The pine deb itself has to be build and installed manually by the
user. The autobuilder (if it would include non-free) would build it
and upload it against the explicit wish of the author as stated in the
license.


Pine is an example of software in non-free that may not be build and
distributed.
