That is one possible definition (the "compatibilist" one?) which however, imho, does not capture the moral and metaphysical ideas that are usually at stake when people talk of "free will". Free will is often thought to be some kind of magic sauce which is supposed to render our minds autonomous and independent of worldly influences.
Mmmmm...magic sauce...just like mama used to make. [emoji478]
