- It's not quite as simple as just "non-profit", at least according to Frame.
- This is the "educational" discount, but to get it you have to be able to prove
- that you are an accredited degree-granting institution with classroom environ-
- ments.
-
- We are non-profit, but despite even having graduate students doing thesis
- (not course) work here, we could only qualify for what they call their
- "national lab" discount, which is $1000 per Sun etc. floating license. Dunno
- about Mac and NeXT, since we didn't ask.
-
- This is the first vendor we've encountered who made this distinction.
