Well yes, but then how GPL termination clause is not a violation?

Consider hypothetical situation when a known offender of the license have it 
revoked as per GPL-3 §8 or any other clause of the any other license. (For 
Expat an obvious violation would be removing copyright and/or notice).

Listing known offenders in addition to the text of the license wouldn't be 
violation of DFSG §5, right?

Discrimination is not the same as Termination so I wonder if it is possible 
to list license revocations in a DFSG-compliant manner...
