You are talking nonsense. The only "right to free speech" there is > Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech This is fundamentally different from the GPL situation. Much closer is intimidation which is recognized as a criminal offense in many US states. |

Secondly, "intimidation" carries a very specific legal meaning, for example here's the Montana statute [0]:
Unless GRSecurity is threatening to break your legs, kidnap you, or rob your store, they are not intimidating you.What we are talking about is refusing to do business with you, which is very legal. There are some exceptions, such as if the basis for that refusal is due to your race/sex, or if GRSecurity is a cartel, or if they are refusing in order to obstruct an investigation into some other illegal activity, but I'm not aware of those kinds of facts here.
