We're looking into that. Ideally, this should have been done the same
day the exhibition opened, but as I said they (understandably) waited
until the very last moment to announce that the contribution had been
censored.

For almost a whole year. As you may be aware of, gathering Free
software advocates anywhere else than in front of their computer is
hardly an easy thing, let alone a whole crowd on the street :-)

Anyway, I'm confident this will not go unaddressed. Online media are
already talking about it[1]; little should be needed for this to go
mainstream (BTW: this could be a story for the Guardian, don't you
think?).
