Nope, that is not correct, in my view. Doing that would restrict the
use of the software, and hence, it would  not be "free." (I did say
that I am more Stallman-ian than open source). Anyone and everyone
should have complete freedom to do whatever they want to do with the
software, as long as they don't, in turn, restrict the freedom of
anyone else.
