US2 Alpha for school?

[kallisti]

A friend of mine is in the management at a junior high school, and they're doing a bit on astronomy, global warming, etc. this winter. I remember there being an offer for free licences for schools for v1, but I realize this is an Alpha and cannot be guaranteed for in any way. Still, I showed her the part where you can demonstrate the effects of increased co2 in the atmosphere over time, and she was very impressed and want to implement that part in the demonstrations for the students. Would this be possible under the old school licence, or be handled legally in another way?

Not sure if this is relevant but here's is the Legal Terms section in the FAQs:

Well, I remember there being some kind of info on FREE licences for schools, and that info does not cover that. I realize the US team probably don't want to release an Alpha for school use, but my friend thought it would be a great tool after I demonstrated the climate change options in it.
