Yahoo Censoring Open Source

According to avid Yahoo er Amanda Kerik Yahoo seems to have developed a policy of censoring answers in their "Yahoo Answers" service if that answer contains a suggestion to use Open Source alternatives to Microsoft software. The gist of it is that a fellow Yahoo er posted a question about what to do with a PC that had run into unsolvable Windows problems since that user did not have a Windows install disc. Amanda suggested quite amiably that the hapless user should simply install Ubuntu Linux since it looked like they d need to start over from scratch anyway. Amanda was subsequently rewarded with a warning from Yahoo that her answer was "in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service." and they promptly deleted her answer.
