Re: Educational purpose

Alapan, 

In your example, the license could be commerial (ex. a textbook publisher licensing a book to a school), with Education as a party element and a student occupying the Role. 

Is that correct? If I understood you correctly, I agree.

An educational license could also be non-commercial.

In this way, should the user be an education user, then they would be able to provide some form of credential that confirms they satisfy the requirement.

I admit, this then places the onus on the identity provider - but that also has a real world assistance, as this approach means that the user is verified and authenticated correctly (so the student can't use education use if they are no longer a student).
