Could someone please explain the concept of Non-Free Packages please (i.e. 
Pine
   etc).

These are well explained at http://www.debian.org/social_contract.html

   It is just that I don't understand why other distributions can include them 
in
   there official releases, where as debain can not.

Because we are idealists, and they are not.
