We believe this is not discrimination. If it is discrimination,
the clause for conveying the corresponding source code in GPLv2
Section 3 and GPLv3 Section 6 can be also discrimination against
people who cannot follow these texts.

After the project ceases to exist, users can choose (a) to use our
software and redistribute their modified software. This does not
prohibit anyone from using or redistributing the software.
Thanks,
