YES. Please. The DFSG #5 says you should not discriminate the licensee;
the licensor is OK. Debian does, in an active basis, discriminate against
licensors: if they refuse to release source code; if they license their
documentation under the GDFL, MPL (?), old QPL, etc, etc, etc.
Free Software is about the licensors (copyright owners) relinquishing some
of their rights to assure the rights of the "commons".

That's exactly why we (should) discriminate in favour of poor people.
