Free Enterprise | Definition of Free enterprise by Merriam-Webster

a system in which private businesses are able to compete with each other with little control by the government. In The Villages, the developer is "the government" and he controls competition with his restrictions on who sells what where.

Whether it's right or wrong, that's what he can do, which is fine. But don't call it free enterprise because that's the last thing it is.
Free enterprise is exactly what it is! Anyone is free to not like it, but it is clearly the exercise of FREE enterprise. The Developer is an entrepreneur not a government.
