I'm not sure and definitely don't want any of my fats disqualified! :)
When you use the fabric, yes the selvedge (also spelled selvage) should be cut off, because it is more tightly woven than the rest of the fabric. As for me, I like to see the selvedge that has the writing, because then I can know a little more about the fabric. Sometimes company/design line/designer are listed.
