Do you listen to National Public Radio in the US? They broadcast all of their content for free on FM radio, and then ask for donations a couple times a year. Does that feel manipulative to you? Genuine question, because to me that doesn't seem that different the developers holding out their hat after releasing an open source library.

I don't have experience with NPR, but my guess is no. Edit: I think the main difference is having or not having an expectation that you will be paid later for something that was provided for free.
