That violates principle 5 and 6 of the Open Source Definition (q.v.
http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php). The definition talks
specifically about the license, but should apply to project policies as
well.

5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups

The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons

6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a
specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program
from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
