Donations have never proven to be a viable business model, though. Shareware as a concept died out quickly in the 1990s because almost nobody ever chose to pay for what they could get for free. I wish we lived in a world where that wasn't the case, but as a species we're evolved to take what we can get when we can get it. It's a survival mechanism, and it's a real problem for the idea of a donation model.
