If the license won't fly legally without this onerous restriction, maybe
that's a sign that the license is a bad idea. I get a lot of nice e-mails
from home-schooling parents who are using my physics texts with their
kids. (And -- heh heh -- maybe their parents didn't notice the 
anti-creationist
diatribe tucked into that section of the optics text on the evolution of the
eye :-)
 
Who are the bad, evil non-educational users from whom authors need their
free information protected? If they exist, couldn't they be fended off using
a CC license with the no-commercial-use clause turned on?
