有人知道美国留学生仅持有F1签证的情况下开源项目可以接受Sponsor吗，App上架应用商店可以用美国银行账户收费吗？
如果是出国前在国内完成并开始盈利的项目呢？
有相关法律依据吗？

Donation属于赠予吧
以个人开发者上架+收款可以，以美国注册公司上架/收款都不可以
后者属于工作，不管是自己的公司还是别人的公司都不可以
Self-employment A student visa does not allow self-employment. This means in order to undertake work you should be given a formal document by the employer such as a 'contract of employment' or a 'worker's agreement' or some other written statement confirming your employment status. This includes where you will be undertaking work for one or more of the Colleges, or for the University. Please note you may find that other students (who are not on a student visa) may not need to have the same documentation in place. Self-employment normally includes activities such as freelance writing or publishing, private tutoring or selling goods or services directly to an end customer, for example as a consultant. If you are not on the employer or agency's employee payroll, it is likely the work being offered is on a self-employed basis. If you are unsure, it is important you check your employment status prior to starting work.
tl;dr: 不行
不算employment
自己写app卖钱不就是self-employment吗?
没有卖钱啊
代购什么的也算，说起来也是不允许的
具体的更推荐和学校的international student office聊
代购当然算，但开发开源软件不算self-employment
哦对，这算两个问题。开源软件可以写
不能上架app卖钱
理论上写了暂时不上架也算，但是这个没人管得着你
上架卖钱不行
但可以用自己在国内开的公司上架卖钱
如果是人在国外的时候工作那也不行
不是自己经营就行
换个说法吧，只要移民局觉得是“工作”的（会有人愿意出钱）都不行，即使你没有收费。签证最大的问题就是在于，你是没办法请律师帮你defend的，移民局可以单方面赶你出去，所以还是低调一点做人
是的。F1、H1b想要拿绿卡的话，这类风险都不建议做。哪怕做YouTuber开Google AdSense都有风险。如果不打算拿绿卡的话那就随意了
找個enrolled agent吧，出事也有人背鍋
对，声明一下我刚才说的那些都不构成法律建议或者移民建议?
非移民签证都有这个风险
