Goto gnu.org and read what free is. non-free means that it does not have a free license.
If software is free, as opossed to some open source license, then changes do not have to be published. I don't want to make it
clear as mud so please, go to www.gnu.org and follow the free software link.
Now, you should have an idea why it is non-free -- you can't do with it as you please. That's the reason why pine is non-free
either. :) [you cannot distribute pine if you change the sources from original].
Hope this clears up the mud,
Adam
