I'm not sure I understand how that coexists with "The freedom to redistribute 
copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2)."

While a scenario may exist where entity A sells program-which-is-open-source, 
but allows others to distribute it for free (or for a charge), that doesn't 
seem like a real world scenario.
