development of an education license or license option for Creative Commons

["Greg London" <email AT greglondon.com>]

The only thing I can think of that >might< be a work around
is if you have your students get their own copy from some other
source. If you aren't copying, distributing, or deriving, I don't
think copyright can restict it.

But, as I said, I'm not a lawyer.
