I suggest that you read this:
The Open Source Definition
http://opensource.org/docs/definition.php
Especially have a look at point 6 ("No Discrimination Against Fields of
Endeavor").
So maybe we would have to write a new license, like a
"Participation License" or something which might also
be used by other projects in future of course.
Do so, but then do not tell anyone that this is an "Open Source"-license
- it is not.
