development of an education license or license option for Creative Commons

["Alexander, Bryan" <balexan AT middlebury.edu>]

Many college faculty have the sense of copyright as something external to
them.  An edu license could bring it home, as it were.

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.
