That seems like something best avoided. All kinds of things could be considered compensation, so I think it probably prevents a lot of open source project types. It seems like this may exclude quite a few funding models, for example.
I agree it's not technically proprietary, but that doesn't necessarily make it usable (edit: for open projects, I mean).
- pfortuny 7y ago“Other compensation”... Can I use it for a student’s degree project?
- MaulingMonkey 7y agoIANAL, but I think so. You're not charging "1 degree" for your trouble. That said, neither you nor the school would be able to charge $$$ to cover redistribution costs for a CD containing your project, which sounds incredibly easy to run afoul of.
