I think the FAA refers to compensation as any sort of monetary gain from piloting an aircraft. I've never heard of compensation being referred to as just free flight time. It works the same if you just rent an aircraft, and you're surely not getting paid to do that

I don't see this as being a legal issue either. But, it goes back to the point made of the airworthiness of the aircraft and if you're comfortable bringing them along.
Kudos to you for checking with the FSDO though. Better safe than sorry.
