A number of problems have been discussed on -legal relative to it; most notably, that you can put it on a CD-ROM but not a Jaz disc (for example), and you can't put it with commercial software. That and the "local modification" business is a bit goofy; perhaps they should consider a "you modify it, you change the name" policy (i.e. you can't call a modified Pine "UW Pine" or "UW PC/Pine"). That would at least edge it closer to DFSG-freeness (and would certainly let binaries into non-free).
