I've been meaning to ask a very similar question. Again, pertaining NC and
education. I have a friend who is making teaching materials under the
BY-NC-SA license. He doesn't want people selling the teaching materials.
But he's happy with teachers who get paid for teaching using this material
in the classroom. In fact, that's his primary target group.

How does the NC clause affect his work? Are teachers allowed to earn money
teaching while using his work as long as they don't sell the work itself?

Is there a more suitable CC license for him?

Cheers,
