IANAL but I suspect that the FSFE (a German e.V.) isn't allowed to participate in Outreachy anyway. My impression is that it would be a violation of German laws like the AGG: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/agg/__11.html https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/agg/__7.html https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/agg/__1.html Unless I missed it, there is no "you are allowed to discriminate based on race, gender, etc. if you pretend that it's for a good cause" exception.
