FWIW, I always recommend charging 3 months of jr dev time for cross-licensing and use the cash to pay for a project-related internship. It's win-win-win: - you get help with your project, - the project (and its corporate user) gets new features or bug fixes or refactors, - the student gets a learning experience. Mentoring does take a surprising amount of time, so you can also tack on a little extra and treat yourself to a weekend at a ski report (or whatever your thing is) as a "thank you" to yourself for the free mentorship :)
