Most software efforts that go open source do so to improve their software thru collaborative effort. Like most groups, we hope that openness and utility will attract others to contribute and use our software because of the freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose *other than censorship.*
The FOSS space is already crowded with Software that does not address the issue of organizational censorship. If a set fellows wants to do something like seek collaboration against censorship, why should their effort be divided?
