It'd be vile and as a community I'd hope we'd organize to discourage that kind of behavior. I don't know that I'd consider it non-FOSS. And yes, I think one of the biggest risks of using this mechanism is publicizing it so others use it to target marginalized people. That's why I'm not recommending it or devising a license.
