You can write all the Linux Kernel code you like, and run it on YOUR
computer. You can't force anyone else to use it, or force Linus to
accept it into his tree.

Also, I don't have much problem with the so-called 'censorship' of those
who distribute other people's work without their permission. Remember,
that includes GPL-abusers like Edimax and (perhaps) Tivo.

There are a number of other sites I can post my SFD images. I think
Flickr would be highly unlikely to remove them. I could put them on my
own site. Or perhaps the most appropriate place would be the
softwarefreedomday.org gallery.
