There's quite a lot of cross-polination between educational institutions
and the commercial world.  I don't think you can assume that if you
provide a BSD style license to educational institutions they wont take
advantage of their ability (granted by the license) to provide that
software to commercial institutions.  And given the copious flow of
money, ideas, and personel back and forth accross that line (commercial
vs. educational) I think you'd have a very hard time laying down your
requirements in a license.

IANAL, of course.

obRecomendation: KISS and GPL it.
