I think you should ask the author of the license and perhaps ask for By Attribution and ShareAlike. Many educators hav seen good, and expensive packages and they would therefore feel used if a commercial interest appropriated stuff provided for nothing. Under ShareAlike, once someone bought the package, they would also be buying at cost reproduction rights, because the commercial interest would hav to indicate their source, somewhere.
It actually puts quite a reservation in the commercial interest. If the materials are really good, then they'll wonder if promotional efforts will be contagious and by that limit how long the materials are commercially viable. The makers of Berkeley Standard Distribution (BSD) did not think that way (commercial use allowed), so now, much of their code is incorporated into Macs, so that Macs run on a popular cousin of UNIX (TM). A lot of programmers were probably thinking that donations would go to their school, and even if not, well, it is internet infrastructure to be proud of.
