If the friend didn't charge the student from the other university for submitting his work, then I do not see how submitting something for a friend has breached the rules laid out below. If many universities are touting Turnitin as a learning tool (which I agree with), then those that stick to using it just to catch out students who may not be very good at referencing shouldn't be surprised that their students are looking elsewhere to take advantage of the learning benefits of Turnitin.

I'd say that was fairly specific that they cannot submit other people's work. This isn't a free service - its licence is paid for by an institution!
