Not open source. We have approved licenses which give some people 
greater freedom than others. However, absent that clause, the license 
complied with the OSD, and so was approved. I don't remember which one 
it was, however.

If you want to discriminate against greedy corporations, you should give 
everyone else more freedom than them. The Open Source philosophy allows 
for that. For example, you could require them to change the name of the 
software if they modify and redistribute it, but not require that of 
anyone else.
