Licence needed to buy property in Spain?

Is it true that 3rd country nationals ie UK now need a licence from the military to buy a property in Spain?

From your link spairico :-Another spoke in the wheel for British buyers, who might now be held back by Franco-era laws aimed to keep foreigner owners away from military bases and strategic sites like Gibraltar.

I purchased two properties close to Gibraltar before Spain joined the Common Market.

One was within sight of the villa the "Italian frogmen" used for their attacks on allied shipping in the Bay of Gibraltar during WW2

The area of the Campo de Gibraltar is awash with non EU citizens
