Certainly this paragraph that you quoted doesn't not appear in the
pine-4.21 license.
The 4.21 license goes on to say:
Local modification of this release is permitted as follows, or by
mutual agreement: In order to reduce confusion and facilitate
debugging, we request that locally modified versions be denoted by
appending the letter "L" to the current version number, and that the
local changes be enumerated in the integral release notes and
associated documentation.
Redistribution of this release is permitted as follows, or by mutual
agreement:
(a) In free-of-charge or at-cost distributions by non-profit concerns;
(b) In free-of-charge distributions by for-profit concerns;
(c) Inclusion in a CD-ROM collection of free-of-charge, shareware, or
non-proprietary software for which a fee may be charged for the
packaged distribution.
Redistribution of binary versions is further constrained by license
agreements for incorporated libraries from third parties, e.g. LDAP,
GSSAPI.
