I'm asking this, because it's my opinion that pure chess moves and the information which appears in a PGN header, should not be copyrighted or otherwise restricted in any way. Of course, if there's doubt about the correctness of such a game score *after it's been published*, it should be possible to place a comment or contradiction - but to restrict a publication beforehand, is censorship.
