** Group License FAQ:

Who can use this “Group Course” license?

Any informal group such as a co-op or other small group learning community that is not an official non-profit or business-organized education group. The only requirement is that two or more families worth of students are gathering in one place for learning, and the instruction is not done for profit or under a legally organized entity.

How many families can use a single “Group Course” license?

There really isn’t a limit on how many families can be involved. All I ask is that this license be used for informal groups that actively meet together for learning. This license is not meant to be a “group buy” where several families go in on it with the intention of using it separately in each’s schooling. Separate families must purchase single copies of the course.

All members within said group are able to duplicate and use the videos and PDFs outside of formal meet-ups to aid in comprehension. However, the primary teaching of the course under this license should happen in a group setting.

Can schools and conferences use this “Group Course” license?

Schools, businesses, organized non-profits, and conferences are not covered by the scope of this license. If you are one of these and want to use the course, I will talk with you individually to determine the best and most cost-effective way to license the course for your needs.
