Yes, but then they wouldn't be able to use copyright laws to come after you, they would have to pursue you for breach of contract. Copyright is enshrined in law and is fairly clear regarding the limitations of the grant that Congress or the Legislature has provided the creator versus the rights enjoyed by the public. You can try to place greater limitations than is provided by copyright law but you can't use copyright law to enforce those limitations. -- Bryan Phinney
