There are some ambiguities here - is it legit to lend your Oyster card
that's loaded with a zones 1&2 Travelcard to a friend so they could
use it to pay for a Tube journey in zone 6 (they'd only be using it
for PAYG after all)? I would strongly suspect that's verboten. What
about lending your friend an Oyster card loaded with a Bus Pass so
they could use it on the Tube (and only on the Tube)? I also suspect
that would technically foul the rules.

Only because TfL are being unnecessarily fussy about a tiny amount of
transfer that would actually happen. Our local bus company MK Metro
has recently done away with the pointless contact-type smartcards for
weekly season tickets, and has stated that as a result the new paper
weekly season tickets are explicitly transferrable - indeed I'm sure I
recall they suggested handing them around the family at different
times.
