have a braindead license. For example, if a distro found a security problem with Pine, they're not allowed to ship patched binarys without written permission from UofW.

Over the last ten years I have reported two security matters to the Pine development team at UW. In the first case, they issued an update the next day, the second, in three days.
It packages and builds trivially on YDL 3 and 4. Updated tarballs usually drop right into an old .spec file. Instead of speculating about possible problems, you might check the true track record.
