Re: PINE Debian Package



Hi guys,

Perhaps a "debian-pine" list is in order.  :)

This whole PINE issue is getting blown way out of proportion.  Debian's
policy is clear.  Both sides have points but I agree more that Debian
should not interpret PINE's licensing in a way that would obviously be
"pushing things" and that may have the potential of bringing Debian into a
legal battle.  IMHO, Debian's PINE maintainer made the right decision,
even if it does inconvenience PINE users for a little while.  However,
this time of inconvenience will pass; especially as it becomes a "given"
that PINE will not be distributed as it used to be.

I have always respected the opinions of George and Marcus, and still do.
I ask that we all just give this PINE issue a rest, at least for a little
while.  My middle finger is getting a callous from hitting the delete key
"d" when deleting all of these PINE posts.  :-)

And, yes I am a PINE user.

Thanks guys,
-Ossama
