Reference for Avodah Zarah 127:7

מדרבי יהודה נשמע לר"ע לאו אמר ר' יהודה אסור ליתן להם מתנת חנם אבל למעוטי תיפלה שפיר דמי לר"ע נמי אע"ג דא"ר עקיבא המקיים בכלאים לוקה למעוטי תיפלה שפיר דמי ותו לא מידי

[But nevertheless] from R. Judah’s statement we could infer something about R. Akiva’s view. Did not R. Judah say that it is forbidden to give them a free gift, but it is okay to reduce what is improper. The same then would be for R. Akiva, although he said that he who preserves [mixed seeds] is liable to the punishment of lashes, it is okay for the purpose of reducing what is improper! There is nothing further to discuss on this subject.
