Only for very limited areas. Debian does not have the power to tell us
how to live outside of our collaboration with Debian. It's a very
limited organisation. The worst censure that can be applied is to be
removed from that organisation. That does not compare to the possible
removal of liberty (or even life!) that is amongst a Government's
powers.

Rubbish. A refusal by Debian to publish on somebody's behalf is not at
all the same as government censorship. A government can remove the
right to publish at all.
