Bruno asked me the following question which might be of generel interest
(I was asked already several times)

he asked, why a development version of Oberon/F is turned into an education
version as soon as a module is loaded which has been compiled with an
education version. The reason is that is must not be possible to produce
and sell components which have been generated with the education version.
Therefore the education header appear as soon as such a module is loaded
with the development version.

If you still have modules around which you have compiled with the beta (edu)
version it may happen, that you see the education header from time to time.
Simple recompile all old modules.
