If it was her idea originally, I would suspect that some company 
wanted to do a venture capital agreement and then bring her on as 
a contractor. She must have sold someone on the idea and they felt 
it was a worth while investment. A lot of small designers ideas get 
funded this way. This is one way how venture capital works. In a 
way it is good to see this.

Depending on how the aggreement was written up, determines   
here profit and what rights she has to the product after so m any 
years.
