What about sponsors? Actually, now I have the idea of a platform similar to Kickstarter but for software development, and with just sponsors. It wouldn't work, sure... Except in some cases. Like when things like this happen...

Sponsors are fickle, unfortunately, and they tend to remove "donations" when money gets tight.

If I am considered a full vendor, though, and a vendor for a critical piece of software, they might keep me around.
