I disagree. Free software is about ensuring freedoms granted to the next person downstream make their way all the way down the chain. Free software licenses are effectively the same as permissive licenses except for this: you do not have the freedom to withhold freedom from others.
That does sound really handy. When I was a sysadmin in academia, I'd always try to schedule shutdowns for times when people would be asleep. But of course no matter what time you pick, there's always at least one grad student doing work then. :-)
