And of course there is the opposite problem.

Getting the academic world to believe that materials - in the case of
Python representing how many person-days of effort??? - might not
*need* to be paid for. And can yet be taken eminently seriously.

Getting the check approved is part of the "certification" process. 
No checks, no certification.

I am willing to volunteer - again, for the cause - to be the designated
recipient of checks from any institution that finds the process unavoidable.
