It would appear that on Apr 5, duncan brown did say:

Too bad about that. (the restrictive license) But from what I understand
of it it is at least, free to use... I don't know about source tarballs,
(I doubt I'd even attempt to compile it) But pico has been in the same
"package" as pine with every distro I ever tried... Though I don't really
care about pico because I use vim to compose with. 

Somebody else suggested dag's rpm too. And it's already downloaded and
"installed" [ though not yet tested, I only just got as far as setting up
my user account(s) on it.] 

Thank you! for explaining why it's not "IN" the Fedora cd's...
