--- Quote from: hans on September 19, 2023, 10:18:39 pm --- Paid in material goods? Can I spin that around as a donation? I'm sure it would break some rule.. or even be fraudulent.. but its not the first time I heard that trick being done in the private sector (the donation was to help a business relationship :horse: ). --- End quote --- The big practical advantage of that approach is that it doesn't involve the uni paying a new supplier, and there doesn't need to be any record of anything having changed hands. If it does need some paperwork, it could probably even be documented as a "permanent loan", or supply of equipment needed to create the software.... |

If you're not looking for a large amount, there's something called cash... |

I think there is no point in presuming all possible obstacles, hurdles and complications that may occur. Just talk to her. She works in the university system and will know what options and funding sources she has. |

Seriously, I've looked around (myself), when in similar situation, and decided the while deal was frought with hand-wringing and doubts...and no discussion of compensation. Other, more clear work options were usually right there, close. So any decisions involved looking at that greater field. Or, saying this another way, I had AT LEAST two other completely separate work-time options that were more clearly defined. Exception would be some task placement that got me closer to some other goal, where the immediate uncertain situation didn't substantially matter, rather, I wanted to get in that particular organization, (even by unpleasant means). So it's a question of tolerance, vs better off looking elsewhere, for more certain transaction. |

I would send a bill along with a polite note and see what happens. |
