Donationware: you must donate to use it. Not like regular optional donates.

That's the true definition of donationware.
If you're being forced to "donate" any amount of money upfront to use the software, it's no longer donationware, it's literally just paidware. Even if the source code is available elsewhere under a FOSS license, that specific copy is by definition paidware.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
