No. By the four software freedoms, one must be able to modify the code
of any piece of free software. This requires the code in its original,
unobfuscated non-binary form. When RMS says that software may be private
and free, he likely means that it can be developed by a private business
for industry. But, again, for it to be free it must retain the four
essential freedoms.
