development of an education license or license option for Creative Commons

["Downes, Stephen" <Stephen.Downes AT nrc-cnrc.gc.ca>]

It would need to be carefully worded. As in, "If you want to reserve
your work for educational use, use this license." I don't know about
ranaming it, since people might then think it's something it isn't.
But there is merit to this idea.
