Not wanting to put too much of a spanner in the works...

It would need to be thought out carefully - for example, I'm pretty sure
that in the UK, the sorts of sums of money that are being talked about
mean that HMRC would be interested for income tax / national insurance
purposes.  Whilst I'm not saying it couldn't be done, the overheads of
going self-employed (which is what this is) for a short period might
mean that the $15k (or whatever) ends up being significantly less in the
hands of the developer.

Of course, for a developer that's already self-employed...
