Go to doctor, silly Hyman.

"A licensor who contractually prohibited the combination of its
software with other programs in situations where adaptation rights
are not affected would exceed the scope of its copyright by seeking
to control external activities and subject matternamely, the use of
independent programs. Depending on the context, such a clause could,
in effect, constitute a prohibition on using competing products. In
any event, such a clause would limit a licensees right to create
compilations and non-creative combinationsrights that the Copyright
Act declares to be free, in contrast to the right to prepare
derivative works.196 Thus, such a copyright owner would seem to run a
significant risk that a court would classify such a clause as
copyright misuse with the dramatic result that the copyright owner
would be denied copyright protection even against outright piracy. A
licensor who merely prohibits licensees from creating derivative
works, as the term is defined by statute and through combinations or
otherwise, would generally remain within the scope of its statutory
rights and not risk a finding of copyright misuse.
The need to prevent an abuse of intellectual property law is
internationally recognized.197"
