1. taking away copyright doesn't censor because it doesn't take away your right to sell the stuff you created (see open source)
2. it not constitutionally mandated incentives, it a constitutionally
allowed incentive. And that allowance is conditional "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts"

3. if taking away copyright /voiding then open source is dead, because the entire principle of forced barter of GPL would also be unconstitutional. In which your taking away a copyright protection of something that can
prove it promotes the progress of science to protect something which can't prove it.
