The goal of excluding specific people, or groups of people, is not compatible with software freedom. It's also not compatible with the DFSG. Such a goal cannot be met in a free software license. So, the resolution would entail getting at *why* They want to exclude certain people, and see whether that underlying goal can be met. The way the existing wording seems to spitefully target named individuals does not make me hopeful of that, but at least there's a chance something can be found. -- \ “When I get new information, I change my position.
