Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if the following copyright notice in the format shown 
below is acceptable for purposes of the Educational Community 
License?  Deriviative works are allowed, just not allowed to be named 
as xxxx Methodology version 2 and so on to avoid confusion with the 
name of the original work (i.e. "find your own name").

Thanks for any inputs!
J
