Censorship is a type of editing. Specifically, it is editing to remove that which is in some way--esp. morally--objectionable (as contrasted with things removed because they are irrelevant, incorrect, etc.). According to the earlier posting, the citation was obviously removed because it was found to be objectionable by FSF standards. If the act of removing the citation causes me x amount of bother, I am bothered at least 3x by the various attempts to explain away the act. >...Please learn the difference > between censorship and editing. If you would teach, first know. -- Dick Dunn rcd@ico.isc.com -or- ico!rcd (303)449-2870 ...Programs, not politics.
