Yes, you are selling a service, not the scripts. If you were selling the scripts and they are not yours then it would be highly illegal, though.

oh absolutely its your free time you have the right to charge or do it free. I know a lot of people that are doing it publicly like advertisting it on thier sites.

Laugh when you can
Apologize when you should
And let go of what you can't change

Sounds like he's doing 'independent contractor" work. Anyone can be paid for what they lawfully do, you pay Starbucks to make you a drink that costs about 3 cents everyday, think about it.

I think that its perfectly legal to do but there is one thing. He might need to pay tax on it but I am not sure mabye other people know more about it.

tech's got licenses, so that if they break something, they're responsible for the damage involved..
