You can find the stories of a few open source developers online who tried to make the donation model work. I'm sure that relying on donations is not sustainable, in this particular case at least. Quite frankly I was contacted by just one company that offered to donate to the project during the past ten years. Very few companies will donate money to an open source project. And you can't expect them to donate to a project that is used by the software they already paid for. Many end users don't even know that the product they are using is based on macFUSE. It's a software component that is used primarily by software developers who integrate it into their product and ship it as part of their (commercial) software to end users. Also, how come so many other OSS projects (that you have no doubt benefited from) find other ways to deal with similar (albeit difficult) situations? How come there isn't even a donation button or the like easily findable?
