I agree although one of the programs I'm working on is a program that sits
at the proxy level and allows fine grained control of URL's, files, and
regexp matches to page contents to allow admins to control what the
browsers can see. Mostly am just doing it because I had 80% of the code
base for it anyway so figured I might be able to pay some bills by selling
such tools to schools, libraries, and businesses. The only problem is that
I'm strongly anti-censorship so I'm not sure if I have moral issues with
powering filtering. I've excussed it to myself by the fact that my
filtering process is much more exact than any other program I've seen and
is in fact democratic in deciding what gets filtered. We'll see if I
decide to release it or not. :)
