That's one definition of free will. It happens to be the compatibilist position which is that our choices are determined, yet simultaneously 'free' in this special sense. Is that the sense in which you are using the term free will, or do you have a more libertarian view of free will?
I don't believe my statement was specific enough to identify with a particular view (I think it could apply to either position). However, I would take the libertarian view of free will. I find Louis Molina and WLC's development of God's middle knowledge to be a convincing way to reconcile God's foreknowledge with our free will.
