Ugh, not a fan of open source projects like these with a freemium model. The company behind it eventually fails, then starts pulling shenanigans or at best stops supporting the open source version. For example, Netgate and PFSense.

Nobody wants to donate. I don't see the problem here.

There's no problem per se. I am not against this model. I just see it as a detracting element when choosing a particular project, as it adds significant risk to using it. All else being equal, I will choose the project that doesn't have a company behind it.
