Yes, on its own. It's a group. You intend to discriminate, we
intend for <br>
you to not discriminate. Stop. End of sentence. EOT. Ctrl-D.
^D. You're <br>
done. Your ship has sunk, your bird has flown, your toast has
popped, <br>
your souffle has fallen. Your license is not compatible with
the Open <br>
Source Definition BY DESIGN. There's really no possible
interpretation <br>
whereby your discrimination becomes one we would allow.<br>
<br>
We don't WANT to discriminate, even against "bad" people.<br>
<br>
You DO want to discriminate.<br>
<br>
There is no meeting of the minds.<br>
<br>
The whole point behind Open Source is the same point behind
Free <br>
Software -- to transfer the power to discriminate between
users to the <br>
users themselves. It's the users who decide whether they want
to use the <br>
software or not. Open Source creates a free market in
