No one "does" anything here. They just "speak". Censorship is not American.

Thus, free software means that computer users 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_%28computing%29> have the freedom to 
cooperate with whom they choose, and to control the software they use. 
To summarize this into a remark distinguishing /libre 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_Libre>/ (freedom) software 
from /gratis <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_Libre>/ (zero 
price) software, Richard Stallman 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman> said: "/Free software is 
a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should 
think of 'free' as in 'free speech 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_speech>', not as in 'free beer 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_beer>'/"
