The first two, discrimination against persons and groups, sound a lot like Ms. Ehmke’s intent. The last, discrimination against fields of endeavor, similarly prevents discrimination, but is opposite to her intent. It’s this one that makes the Hippocratic license not Open Source, not that I am clear its proponents care about that.

For those who didn't read the whole document, "that license" in this sentence refers to a different license that was "attached to the Berkeley SPICE software by the University of California" and not the Hippocratic license.
