Donate for dolphin

Is it not a good idea to have the possibility to say "thanks" for the hard developement of dolphin with donations?
At least i think it should be an option for all users.An account on paypal is payable for all users around the world.
Maybe dolphin should have an account?

If my memory serves well, ector mentioned sometime (at emuforums) that donations were not sought or needed.

They probably took the donation link down for the reason HCR mentioned. Also Paypal doesn't seem to be emulation friendly, I remember Project64 had to seek out a different system because Paypal terminated the account and withheld all funds the account received.

This could likely be the same problem with No$GBA donations. Paypal seems to lump emulation in as being illegal, despite emulation being proved legal but in a "gray" area by the courts.

I'm not saying that this is the reason the Dolphin folks took down the donation link, just trying to offer possible explanations. The reason HCR gave is likely the correct reason why.
