As all is based on copyright you can't distinguish between individuals and organisations as the law does not.

You can write whatever you want in a license, though. I don't see any issue with writing a license which says 'this may only be used by an individual, not an organisation', though of course there are likely to be significant grey areas which would need to be resolved in court if it came to that.
I guess I must have imagined all the licenses which treat individual and corporate use as distinct.

Edit: I'll simplify the above to "the statement in the parent comment is demonstrably not true"

"Don't be snarky"
What I mean is that the copyuright holder can be an individual or a company - no comment on users.
