I don't think you can prevent your users to capture by giving them a incomplete version of a software. If they have the capability of capture, (aka they are root/admin) they can still capture with a binary copy of the software. If they can't install software or don't have the proper capability... they are done. I think that mixing features of a software and capabilities is a bit messy... but maybe there are specific scenarios I can't understand.
