It's either free, or not free. If you have software under a free license, then you of all people should be the last person on Earth trying to restrict how people use your software.
I agree with this. If it is free, let it be free. I do like the simple restrictions that the GPL place, however. If you want the source code, you can have it. You can modify the program however you want and no one will ever have to know...UNLESS...you release the modified program, then you have to share your changes with the world so that they may benefit just as you have.

Freely you have received, so freely give.
