It may well be that you were not using nano but pico. It is part of pine, and i do believe that part of the reason nano got created was that a common question on distro lists etc was "where is pico?!".

And checking wikipedia i see that pine's license was at one point changed from a BSD-like to one that restricted third parties from distributing altered versions of pine. Something that naturally riled up the FSF.
