Thank you for doing this, David.

Some responses:
1. Is there any institutional requirement, a la TEACH Act? If not, how does
one justify an educational usage?
2. Do we want to set a term for this license, different than the default?

I like the Navy / Midnight blue better than orange. I agree that it
appears more "respectable".

Is there any cultural connection with color and education?... My first
response would be a crimson color, but that might be just a Harvard
thing. A parallel cultural connection is the block-type font which
evokes a sense of "college-related", but of course education is not
limited to the university level.

Everyone,

I've had no feedback whatsoever on the following proposal for a
standalone license:

- Require educational use as per the education use clause drafted and
discussed on this list,

- Require attribution as per the present option in the standard CC
infrastructure (because academics expect citations and references),

- Disallow commercial use as per the present option in the standard CC
infrastructure (because this is what educational licenses intuitively
mean to most people), and

- Allow modifications of your work as long as others share alike as per
the present option in the standard CC infrastructure (because this is
the spirit of teaching and learning -- passing on what you know to
others who build upon and improve it).

I'll also propose that we request something in the neighborhood of Navy
/ Midnight Blue for our button, as I think it might appear more
"respectable" than orange.

Thoughts?

D
