I've read that too. But have you seen the "project donations" button
on sourceforge.net?
That system works only with a PayPal account. Which means PayPal
explicitly allows this - just not for me :(
(example of SF.net project accepting donations:
http://sourceforge.net/project/project_donations.php?group_id=37015
)
