This is not FOSS then. FOSS puts no restrictions on downstream use of your software other than that you acknowledge and credit the original authors.. This is "Open Source" with strings attached. It's no different than being forced to sign an NDA to see your code.
You either make it free for everybody, or then it isn't free software.
Wrong. Free in FOSS means freely distributable, not free of cost. My idea of cost is just different than "pay for download".
I think you may be mistaken.
By definition, if the user of the software is not free to do as they wish with the software, the software is not free/libre. It could fit the definition of open source, but it is not free/libre if you are restricting what the user can do with your source code.
And starting comments with "Wrong." Is just rude.
