That might be difficult to accomplish for some grants (we'll have to
look at individual grant's terms and conditions) but if not possible
for a certain grant, maybe we can let the grant-writer spend them on a
sudo room project of their choosing instead? Of course it should be a
project related to the kinds of things that sudo room does and should
be open/free/libre.
