I don't think it's about censorship so much as it's thinking ahead and realizing how huge of a threat this clause could be towards free software. The author is (IMO, rightly) concerned about this and wants to limit how much damage is caused by it.

That's pretty much the driving force behind all censorship - thinking ahead and realizing how huge of a threat the information in question is.
