My take on the discrimination against fields of endeavor means that a license can't be restricted for use in any particular industry. I don't see where the RPL does that. Everyone that enhances or modifies RPL code is required to share their resulting code(if they use it) with the world. Granted, the RPL doesn't have the same privacy protections as the GPL--and some organizations with privacy concerns might find the GPL acceptable and the RPL repugnant-but I don't see how the organizations that choose to avoid RPL code are being discriminated against.
