Now I really don't understand. Why if Mandrake has permission to distribute unmodified Pine or also the permission to distribute unmodified Pine with patches or also the ability to distribute modified Pine as long as they ask U of W, then why in the world is it not going to be part of the download or basic distro?
What sense does that make? Why would MS want to distribute a stripped down versions of what LM was in the past via dl or basic? Perhaps its a forrest for the trees dilema.
