This case is a good example of plight of donation supported products and users unwillingness to support Volunteerily. If it wasn't the threat of project shutting down and the article about it, I doubt project would have recived the funding it did.

It also goes to show that Users are very bad at judging the value of a product and paying accordingly. They need to be provided an anchor price.

I believe this project will be a good case study for business of free and donation supported products.
