I suppose they do, but, from the project website:

 

By using OpenNIC, you are supporting a free and censorship free internet. OpenNIC has been used in many countries to liberate themselves from the censorship placed on the DNS services from their governments or ISPs.

 

So, if the registries would disallow this, would it not fall under censorship,

and thus in breach with the idea of opennic?

Don't the registries have to deal with that?

As you say, freedom of speech is one of the most important things - but also one of the most grey areas on the web.
There are some things, which although they could fall under free speech, are by many regarded upon as intolerable.

How would we (well, ok, you guys, cause i'm still not running a t2 - coming this year, promise!) go about those things?

i.e.: the most current example is how anonymous is grouping together to attack boards to "talk about pedophilia".
don't get me wrong: i don't care much for such sites, but where is the line?
Anonymous is making clear, that for them, the "talking about pedophilia" is one bridge too far.

If there is actual sharing of illegal things, the line is very clear: intolerable.
However, if there is only talking: does this fall under free speech, or would it be intolerable?

Again, the only clear action on the public web has been that of Anonymous: they are for free speech,
but do not consider these things to be part of free speech.

Due to their action, i could imagine (though i doubt it) that one of those sites would move to opennic,
because it's currently "less visible" - excuse the phrasing.

How would we all respond to such a site, in light of the idea of free speech?

- the devil has spoken :)

"I'm curious what makes the various people involved with OpenNIC take

I wasn't aware we are, are we?

As for why I got involved in OpenNIC, I believe keeping the Wibbly
Wobbly
Web open (not the Internets, that's a different thing, though equally
as
valuable) and free is essential for
free speech and freedom in general.

My question would be, "why wouldn't you do something for the greater
good,
particular, freedom of speech?"

It's definitely not easy or even guaranteed to be successful (depending
on
what your definition of successful is, I suppose..)
