Can LDP restrict the use of the LDP material in this way under the terms
of the various licenses LDP contributors have used?
Under the terms of the GPL, you cannot say, "You can't use my software
for purpose X." Thus, RMS himself cannot prohibit Microsoft from using
Emacs.
I also think you have a problem that the U.S. Supreme Court hasn't yet
solved: please define pornography.
