Your argument about "merely" accepting donations 'under the table' is weak and if anything issuing press releases impeaches the chapter further. As I said to GerardM off-list, selling drugs for charity is still selling drugs. Wikipedia's recent moves to both sell content commercially (even if simply by turning a blind eye to the practice) and attempt to filter it with flagged revisions (thus taking a big step from being a distributor towards being a publisher) are going to require some amount of review of existing practices.
