Thanks, I have not thought about that. I figured (hoping) that it would be ok if this is a free project for the community.

In that case, I strongly recommend taking the site down ASAP, at least until you get things squared away. Then reach out to Paul Graham. Contacting a lawyer would also be good, as it sounds like you could use some legal advice in this area. I don't either, for that matter. I just wouldn't want to be potentially exposed.
Asking for donations + a community purpose suggests that there is a recognized non-profit behind the project. If you contacted Graham, maybe he'd say 'no'. Maybe he'd have suggestions for improving it. Maybe he'd ignore it.

Personally, I'd prefer to hear a human reading the text.
