This was something I very much wanted to do initially. However, as the 
legal people from Stanford Law looked at the literature / legal history 
of the word "educational," they "encouraged" me to stick with the 
traditional legal understanding of the term, which always involves an 
institution. We've tried hard to make the license as open as possible 
while still attached to the institution. If you haven't read my most 
recent blog post, there's a little more detail on this there.
