I don't think that term means what you think it means.

I'm using it metaphorically here, perhaps inappropriately.

What I'm trying to say is that there is a thing that is positive and we'd like to see more of (companies releasing things as open source) and there is an adjacent thing that we are considering pushing back against (companies including things in their repos which conflict with their actions). While it should be possible to discourage only the latter, in practice the effect would spill over to the former.
