See the FAQ, esp. section 10.1:
10.1 Is Pine Open Source?
It depends on how that term is defined. Source for Unix Pine is
provided to allow users and system administrators to customize and
adapt Pine for their own requirements. UW's Pine license allows
anyone to download source code for Unix Pine and make modifications
for their own local use without asking permission. Anyone can also
create and distribute patch files to implement bug fixes or minor
enhancements without asking permission. However, redistribution of a
modified version of Pine requires explicit permission from the
University of Washington.
