The term "freedom of speech" as used in the U.S. actually refers to the fact that Congress cannot make laws that restrict speech. It has nothing to do with the restrictions that corporations make on the use of their assets. If Red Hat wants to put retrictions on what whould be said on mailing lists that run using its network resources, servers, and personnel, they are perfectly within their rights to do so. That said, I don't think the thread was off topic, although it has the potential to drift off. Besides, even though Red Hat employees frequent this list, I would not be so quick to grant their comments the status of official Red Hat opinions unless the message excplicitly says so.
