For my part, it's the promotional power of the EDU stamp, getting more people
on
board. I guess what we have to decide if that's important enough to warrant a
degradation of the open content principle. Though I respect the alternative, I
lean in favor of the edu license especially the new draft option -- but then
again I work for a college.
