development of an education license or license option for Creative Commons

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

That's a good explanation.
I suggest making that point clear, based on conversations with hundreds of
college faculty and K-12 instructors, the clear majority of whom would not
be able to begin to think this question through, due to lack of background.

B,

Consider a popular song which is copyright-ed to the hilt. Copyright 
prohibits commercial use of the song by anyone other than the owner 
without express permission to do so. However, pop songs turn up in beer 
and car commericals all the time. How? When a company wants to use the 
tune in an ad, they simply contact the owner to request and arrange for 
permission. This is all completelyh kosher under copyright law.

The same would be true for a cc.edu licensed work. Commerical use is 
prohibited (unless the owner enters into another agreement with you). 
There's nothing slick or backdoor about it. Also, since it's common 
practice, I don't know that it bears explicit statement. (I assume the 
statement would read something like: Although the right to make 
commercial uses of this material has been reserved by the owner, you may 
still contact the owner to ask permission and enter into agreements for 
commercial uses of the Work.)
