Grants
Grants:
Not if the donations can be regarded as a business but if it can be a way to earn some income for our work on the network. Donations through the network popular about the same time as the Paypal payment system and for a time we saw had websites requesting donations for their users to be able to continue offering the service. My impression is that the free software world is a model that has worked but I have many information. If I know the experience of a project like eyeOS but what I have is that it was very profitable. This line would also donationware and donations that Wikipedia calls itself every so often to keep running.
Selling virtual products:
This virtual money and virtual products is something I have always known a lot of attention. In virtual worlds and online games is quite common to use virtual money to buy certain objects or properties within the game and there are companies and people who have seen this as a business opportunity. For the first is that a business is for companies that develop this kind of video games and virtual worlds that encourage consumption and real money to buy things within the game. A well-known case of this is the online game Habbo where in order to access certain sites or to decorate your room as the user must buy Habbo Credits.
