Maybe censorship is not really appropriate. The right analogy, in my
opinion would be that you refuse to sell your book to a shop that also
sells book you don't like, (like porn books, for example). If this is
for a brand or for attracting customers, fine (although this is in
general forbidden, for competitivness issues, but here this is not
really relevant, texlive is free), but there should be metrics that prove 
it. Otherwise this is not direct censorship, but indirect, through 
discrimination.

Indeed, I seem to be rather alone, so I'll stop here, I feel I am
waisting my time and other people time (who are certainly better working
on texlive ;-).
