This is pretty interesting. "The GitHub Student Developer Pack has just expanded, now featuring development tools and training from more than a hundred companies... The Pack is intended to give students access to developer tools they can learn by using." While it's a greate idea, the Pack illustrates the BIG problem inherent in education-only licensing: "To be eligible for the GitHub Student Developer Pack, you must: Be currently enrolled in a degree or diploma granting course of study such as a high school, secondary school, college, university, homeschool, or similar educational institution (and) have a verifiable school-issued email address or upload documents that prove your current student status." So it's heavily weighted toward formal learning, and leaves people who (say) can't afford tuition fees but are still trying to learn on their own.
