IIRC, this question was asked at a community meeting at some point, and
I don't think anybody was really opposed to it, though I can't find the
info in the agenda or in the logs.
There are also several plugins which have "sponsored by" logo with links
to companies who developed them.
None of this seems unreasonable to me.

Hi all,
I just had a quick question:
* What is Jenkins stance on developers accepting donations/payment for
providing a Jenkins plugin?
I think there's an argument to be made, for allowing developers to put a
"donate" button, on the wiki page of the plugin they contributed to (I
wouldn't mind someone shouting me a coffee!). Jenkins itself, is no
stranger to accepting donations
<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Donation>.
I had a quick look in the forums and websites, I couldn't find anything
condoning or condemning the practice.
Some things to take consider:
* it may be a slippery slope changing the core nature of community
plugins (e.g. developers only delivering features/fixing bugs for
paid work) - is this a bad thing? Bugs will get fixed faster if
someone is bankrolling work, as opposed to whenever "I get a free
minute".
* things may get murky with multiple developers (i.e. who get's what?)
* can we "advertise" (links to donations directly on the Jenkins
wiki/github/elsewhere?)
Thoughts? Is this the right place to ask?
