I don't care what opensource.org's definition is. Well, OK, I *do*
care, but that's not the point I was trying to make.
The point I wanted to make is this: What is *redhat/fedora*'s
definition of Open Source? I have yet to see any authoritative
reference. Until I see one, I would argue that there exists enough
ambiguity to include pine. For example, UW's site claims pine is
opensource.
