One interesting idea I had (and while I'm a law student, I haven't spent
more than two or three minutes on the updated Pine license) is that it
might allow modified source to be distributed, where all that needs to be
done (and this could be part of postinstall or whatever) is to compile it.
Thus, we're not distributing modified binaries but modified source and
compiling locally (and automatically).
