All,

Users must:
 - attribute the source of their materials

Users may:
 - make derivative works
 - modify the works, with requirements to clearly note all such
modifications, and with a further requirement that all such modifications
enter the public domain
 - redistribute the materials
 - resell the materials
 - use, or deploy, the materials in all environments where 'education' - in
any of its myriad forms - takes place
 - publish the materials (whether for profit, or simple cost-recovery)
 - coordinate the publishing of materials

Users may not:
 - modify the works, without noting they have done so (to prevent
mis-attribution)
 - in formal education settings, defined as the worldwide equivilents of 1)
K-12 (including public, private, home, religious schools, etc); 2)
College/University; and 3) Trade school settings (all, in all their
multivariate forms) publish By-NC-SA materials as part of any work that is,
in itself, kept from further open distribution (e.g., the user may not
combine a work that uses content both 1)protected by a By-NC-SA education
license; and 2) protected under 'normal' copyright, thereby preventing
further 'open' distribution of said materials to the general educational
environments by claiming 'rights' under 'normal' copyright)

Best,
Sanford
