Hello.
I just got it few days ago. What we need to do with it is described
in the license itself. If no one will do required things, then I'll
do them somewhere in future after finding some so called "free time" :)
Any questions are welcome, I'm still in contact with UW guys.

Appendix A
List of Authorized Changes (with our comments included)

           pine-config.patch -
           changes paths to distribution specific ones, enables USE_QUOTAS,
           sets NUMDEBUGFILES to 0

           pine-makefile.patch -
           small adjustments in makefile

           pine-unix.patch -
           another small makefile adjustment

           pine-quote.patch -
           security fipine-fhs.patch
           yet another makefile adjustment

           pine-segfix.patch -
           possible segmentation fault fix from rawhide.  We would like to
           know more about this.  If it really is a bug we would like to fix
           it.

       ===>**pine-L_on_version.patch -
           adds L to Pine version number
           (this must change to an "N" if this is for the PLD version,
            as specified in this license)**

           pine-libc-client.patch -
           libc-client security patch taken from Debian.  We would like to
           know more about this.  If it really is a bug we would like to fix
           it.
           ** If this is the change in rfc822.c to add a test for !i in a \015
           case, this is already fixed with a different patch (in the \012
           case which is dropped in from the \015 case).

           pine-ssl.patch -
           fixes path to openssl header filesx

           pine-non_english_man_path_fix.patch -
           changes paths in non-english doc to distribution specific ones

           pine-home_etc.patch -
           adds support for home-etc idea of keeping configuration files in a
           subdirectory specified by user, instead of his home directory

           pine-fixhome -
           The home and end keys that this patch adds are already in there.

         pine-doc -
           All of the path changes here are unnecessary, as those
           get changed at build-time, except for the change of
           /usr/spool to /var.  We change it to the standard /var/spool.

           pine-pwd -
           This can be done as an option to the build command, by
           setting it in EXTRACFLAGS.

           pine-terminfo -
           This changes os-lyn.h, however the file that would be used
           in a linux build is os-lnx.h.  It's safe to leave this patch out
           regardless, because we believe nothing is done with this
           particular setting anymore.

           pine-overflow -
           long ago overtaken by events.

           pine-css.patch -
           fix based on http://hico.fphil.uniba.sk/pine-patches.html,
           idea to allow save when maildir folders are in use.  Since
           Pine does not support maildir and we don't approve adding
           maildir support for Pine redistribution, we will not approve
           this patch.

           all.patch -
           All of Eduardo's patches, one of which adds maildir support.
           Eduardo's patches have not been thoroughly audited or considered
           by us, since there are so many of them.  However, there is a link
           to his patches on our web site.
