I would remove the pine stuff completely.
However, pine is also mentioned as an example for nonfree software in
ftparchives.sgml:
<p>Some packages are only distributed as source code due to the restrictions
in their licenses. Notably, one such package is <tt>pine</tt>, see
<ref id="pine"> for more information.
So if we remove pine from the doc, we need another example for such
nonfree software, which is only allowed to be distributed as source code.
Is anyone aware of such software?
