Well, pine is not free, at least it does not comply to the DFSG, and
that is why it is shipping in non-free and not in main.
I think the reason it is non-free, is that you have no right to
distribute compiled binaries or something such, so the only thing you
are free to ship are sources, and the user should compile it.
