Re: Educational purpose

Hi everyone

I would like to add a quick comment (though I am just going through the 
various document on this topic)

ELRA (European Language Resources Association) is one of the major data 
center for language data sets that we license to users of various 
profiles (you can see our licenses on our legal wizard wizard.elra.org)
In our practices (since 1995) we try to distinguish the user profile 
(academic, private R&D center, industrial, etc.) from the usage (for 
research, for technology development and service deployment, evaluation 
of technologies)
so basically an education institute can get access to a DATA-SET for 
teaching purposes only (use in classrooms), the same institute can be 
involved in research (as most of universities do) so then they can opt 
for an R&D license , they may even opt for a commercial-use license if 
they decided to "sell" the technology they developed.
Best regards
Khalid
