As I see it, the *only* problem is whether Wikipedia wants to gain a
reputation as "having to" pay its editors, or something. We certainly
can't stop people making private deals. All we can control is whether
it happens in the Wikipedia namespace or not.

We already have WP:BOUNTY - I don't see a problem here.
