It's a nice sentiment, I agree. I'm just not sure it's particularly true (or
always true anyway).
In the case of Sigil, neither one of us are even accepting donations at this point. i won't speak for Kevin (especially seeing as he's already responded while I typed!), but my reasoning is because i find the work a rewarding enough hobby without compensation (and because I'm a long-time Sigil user). And even if we were to start, I'm not sure more money would change our time spent on Sigil, nor its development pace. I, myself, would never want my work on Sigil to ever approach feeling like a "job." So compensation for it would make me uncomfortable.
Perhaps sometime in the future, I'll set up a list of charitable organizations so that people who want to show their appreciation may do so that way.
