MODERATORS
Do not tempt them to outlaw open source.
Facebook already tipped their hand by prematurely banning posts about Linux.
The most they could do is try to arbitrarily make the licenses null and void, but there's no functional way to outlaw making code publicly available without also outlawing the entirety of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
