Donationware: you must donate to use it. Not like regular optional donates.
There is also software that you could compile from source yourself but the binaries are locked behind a donation. Are those also donationware?
pls answer I need to know if I can use aseprite without disappointing daddy stallman
Paid software is completely fine with RMS as long as the source is available to the users (not even to everyone) as long as you can freely redistribute the source (like RHEL before they enshittified)
