Your friend can rent the airplane from the FBO and give you dual
instruction without any restriction.

Very unlikely. I've never seen a club, FBO that didn't explicitly
state that only club approved CFIs can give instruction. Most also
prohibit flying from the right seat just to ensure you aren't giving
instruction.

I've seen that too, but I don't see how they can make the distinction
between flight instruction and taking a passenger flying.

Its just not good relations to violate a policy of the FBO just
because you don't think you'll be caught. As pilots, we still live in
a pretty small community and word of pilots (especially CFIs) gets
around pretty fast, even in large towns. We've all heard stories of
the crazy CFIs in the area. You don't want to be bundled up with those
guys.

It might be difficult before the fact, but this would certainly come
out in an accident investigation. That could put the instructor in
some very hot water (financially speaking).
