Hiya,
I reiterate the proposal I accepted in October, 2003.
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-education/2003-October/000075.html
It is true that the definition of 'educational' is fuzzy, but because
this proposal
is the By-NC-SA license rebranded as 'educational' we need not worry about
whether a use counts as 'educational' or not.
It is true that the definition of 'non-commercial' is fuzzy, however,
this is an
objection to the Creative Commons as a whole and not the education license
in particular, and that being the case, there is and will be a good body of
precedent to define, through use, the concept of non-commercial.
David Wiley writes, "I therefore propose we rebrand the By-NC-SA as the
Creative Commons Education License, and create a special commons deed
for anyone using the license (i.e., add some contextual language to the
human
readable part of the license - e.g., the way the new wiki license beta
has been
handled)."
I second this proposal and will support the CC-Education license thus
defined.
