I fretted at first, then noticed what it prohibited was distributing
modified "code", not modified "binaries" as pine demands. This may
just be an unclear attempt to prevent people from passing off hacked
code as the unmodified mirror program, something Debian, with its
.diff.gz, doesn't do.
But it still needs to be possible for people to modify the program
after renaming it, as the Artistic license allows. Hmmmmmm....
