I'd have to agree with that. "Promote" implies a one-sided explanation.

To "educate" is to put the truth above your agenda, and tell the
drawbacks of your licenses are as well as their benefits.

No one can promise to give a fully neutral presentation of something
they have themselves produced, but as an organizational goal, it's more
honest.

Cheers,
Terry
