Yes, on its own. It's a group. You intend to discriminate, we intend for 
you to not discriminate. Stop. End of sentence. EOT. Ctrl-D. ^D. You're 
done. Your ship has sunk, your bird has flown, your toast has popped, 
your souffle has fallen. Your license is not compatible with the Open 
Source Definition BY DESIGN. There's really no possible interpretation 
whereby your discrimination becomes one we would allow.

We don't WANT to discriminate, even against "bad" people.

You DO want to discriminate.

There is no meeting of the minds.

The whole point behind Open Source is the same point behind Free 
Software -- to transfer the power to discriminate between users to the 
users themselves. It's the users who decide whether they want to use the 
software or not. Open Source creates a free market in software. If you 
don't want your software to be free for anyone to use, then you aren't 
distributing Free Software as a concept, and aren't distributing Open 
Source as a brand.
