covers PINE. It seems we were misinterpreting their intent earlier so they changed the wording, but pine always did have a licensing problem in terme of free software, now it is not even classifiable as open-source. Of course, aficianados can always DL it from UW. http://www.washington.edu/imap/legal.html is not GPL but the UW Free-Fork license which does allow modification/redistribution and requires source to be available--apparently a free software license.
