development of an education license or license option for Creative Commons

["Alexander, Bryan" <balexan AT middlebury.edu>]

Interesting move.  Would the creator, then, in effect be stretching first
sale principles to have two copyright arrangements at once, for the same
work?

If it's agreed, David, it should be clearly stated.

Ahh! Glad I read the rest of my mail before replying. This was my 
thinking exactly. Noncommerical use is granted across the board; if 
someone wants to make a commercial use, they contact and request as 
normal under traditional copyright.
