They may not currently have the educational license, but am 
quite sure that they are not clueless, and my experience 
with them is they are interested in hearing about new 
software licenses where there is sufficient interest to 
warrant it.

It seems a little silly to have one department handle the 
non educational license and another the educational license. 
Surely something can be worked out with the the licensing 
people instead of just insulting them behind their back and 
setting up something yourself that will result in 
duplication of effort.
