The big point here is that Open Source views censorship - however
well-intentioned - as damage and routes round it. This applies just as
well to attempts to educate people who don't want to be educated as it
does to designing freaky DRM codecs.

Not giving people what they're after in the Open Source world is an
exercise in futility. You will be bypassed.

As one commentary on Groklaw says, people just aren't as dumb as
Microsoft needs them to be.
