More specifically, b) one set of freedoms to everyone and an extra set to a subset. (Exclusive sets--one license to teachers, another license to everyone else, no overlap--is a different and stranger issue, one which has been pondered here in passing but never seriously discussed.) I think b) is only non-free if I'm required to grant freedoms to one or the other group that I wasn't granted myself, such that I'm required to redistribute derived works under different terms than those I received myself; DSFG#3. -- Glenn Maynard
