Not open source. We have approved licenses which give some people greater freedom than others. However, absent that clause, the license complied with the OSD, and so was approved. I don't remember which one it was, however.
If you want to discriminate against greedy corporations, you should give everyone else more freedom than them. The Open Source philosophy allows for that. For example, you could require them to change the name of the software if they modify and redistribute it, but not require that of anyone else.
