pine 3.94's Copyright
Why is this in non-free? It sounds like they _want_ to be
included in linux distributions! What about this copyright
is keeping it out of the Debian distribution? I obviously
need to familiarize myself with Debian's rules and regs, but
it seems strange that this copyright is keeping pine in
non-free.
