My opinion: because of cognitive dissonance reduction.
People want to assiocate themselves with a dynamic new movement that is
proving itself succesful, but don't want to adopt the mindset that goes
with it.

"Promotional power" is orthogonal from the permisions and prohibitons in the 
license.
a BY-license give instructors more then enough the right to use the contents 
in an educational setting 
and is therefore an "educational license". The same goes for BY-SA, and 
BY-SA-NC. BY-ND.
Those are all educational licenses.

And where do MIT-Professors work?
Mit OpenCourseWare uses BY-SA-NC.

Goes for *all* licenses they explicitly adopt.
