> Even today, the free software movement is developing new licenses to combat a new threat: hardware that will only run an approved version of an open source program.

You mean, like the GPLv3, which restricts the freedom to choose such software to business users?

The phrase "restricts ... to" is ambiguous or incorrect here.
