This seems likely to be a short lived local problem within the US. Clearly free software without such restrictions will be used elsewhere. We had a similarly ludicrous situation in the UK during the 1930ies when importers of foreign newspapers were made to cut out articles about the Prince of Wales and Wallace Simpson, but those with access to foreign media could not be prevented from knowing what was going on.
