You are arguing that guaranteeing free speech is a form of censorship. 
The first amendment is *not* non-free because it doesn't allow you to 
censor views that you don't agree with. Censorship is a form of 
expression! Yet it is limited to ensure that expression is not limited.

Censorship is also a way of making opinions proprietary. Copyright is a 
form of censorship considered in these terms (a limit on the free 
distribution of speech), one designed as a deal with the devil to 
ensure freedom of speech by limiting it.

Basically, I stand by my point that the freedom to express yourself in 
one sphere (code) should not necessarily be conflated with the freedom 
to "express" yourself in another (business).
