I *might* be concerned about alumni using university resources for corporate
purposes.  

Some vendors stipulate 'educational use only' when they donate equipment
and/or software.  If alumni start doing research for their employers on
university equipment, you might run into some problems.....

I would think that a simple 'no commercial use' agreement with the alumnus
would eliminate such problems......
