other student positions are not considered staff by Stein. Sage

Jason Grout discovered as much a couple years ago:

There, a Wolfram rep effectively said that connecting to a university
computer over ssh violates their license. And now we see that they're
willing to enforce that. I can only see this as being good for Sage.
But the issue in the spoof seems to be illegal installations, not using
a legal installation via ssh. I think those are different issues.
As a spoof, it would be funny to see a http://sagemath.org/homeuse URL,
like the spoof post suggests.
