I dunno. That message I sent out earlier was the full
text from CC's lawyer. That's all there was from CC.

I think they're redefining "non-commercial"
to mean "non-profit" so that university professors
can get paid a salary,
charge students tuition,
charge them for books,
and claim its all non-profit.

But a consulting company that is a for-profit corporation
will not be allowed. The professors don't want their
work spoiled by money. Unless the money is coming to them.

Nice little racket.
