Well, if you want to play in dueling dictionaries, Websters Seventh
lists it as 
	"An official who reads communications and deletes forbidden
	material. " "To subject to censorship."

Since RMS is a private citizen, rewriting his own work, or the work of
his employees, what he is doing is editing, not censorship.

#You clearly don't, as you have made obvious to the world.

I love you too.
