Indeed it's not. The ability for Linux to be used commercially is one of 
it's primer drivers of awesomeness. I would suspect they /could/ be 
educated about changing this if shown the benefits. (Future custom live 
spin for academic use easily distributable to libraries? I don't know as 
I'm not familiar with the app).

Incidentally, the Creative Commons has a survey up here, incidentally, 
that folks ought to way in on if you do license CC works. It's a bit long:

The issues for writers and photographers and such can be slightly 
different from those of software developers, so I'd encourage those with 
an interest in the CC to way in.
