This week we're responding to a question from a listener:

"Pro Bono No-No"

"I’m hosting a workshop at work with a colleague who is a life and health coach as well. We are both volunteering our time for this. I asked a good friend of mine (also a colleague) to design the flyer. She did a great job. It is my hunch that my colleague wants to use the design for her own future gain, whether to advertise for other volunteer sessions she offers at the company or through her paid coaching services. 

She then asked my designer friend to share the source files and asked the designing colleague to coffee for future "collaborations."

This doesn't sit well with me and I feel like my designer friend will be taken advantage of. How do I educate someone in a kind way about pro bono design work and intellectual property boundaries?"
