That sounds like the ability to pay. It might be worth considering
changing the student rate to an academic and open source rate and
doubling the rate. I am not getting into a definition of "academic"
or "open source" [1]. It is left to the organization to determine
whether it is a good idea to be honest or try the weasel words [2] approach.

1. If the IETF is serious about running code (see RFC 6982) it would
try to encourage open source developers to participate more
effectively in the IETF.
2. weasel words give the impression of taking a firm position while
avoiding commitment to any specific claim.
