Debian is dedicated to free software and it is not in the business of asking permission to distribute non-free apps. Please, do not ask them for this permission *in the name of Debian*. If you want to do something for Debian with respect to pine, please ask them to change the license instead. Thanks. -- "08535c6c177f03bbcaa99277faeb2a45" (a truly random sig)
