Unfair and discriminatory
Discriminating against a developer on the grounds that they happen to have been born in a particular country is unacceptable in my opinion. It's similarly arbitrary to discrimination on the grounds of race, gender or sexual orientation.
Google Code also has the same policy, it seems.
