I have to disagree with your interpretation on this one. The educational 
use option only excludes certain types of use, i.e., non-educational. It 
happens that by extension there are some who can never make acceptable 
use, and so because they cannot make acceptable use they are excluded. 
In exactly the same way, the noncommercial use clause only excludes 
certain types of use, i.e., commercial. It happens by extension that 
there are some who can never make acceptable use, and so because they 
cannot make acceptable use they are excluded.
