Thats not non-free in any way. The Freedom DFSG describes is not
freedom for the developers but for the users and such restriction
doesn't apply to ordinary users. The NPL (and MPL IIRC) has the same
requirements.

Please don't even suggest such actions not even in jokes. It would be
very sad to see Open Source fanatics use terorism to spread the use of
open source.
