The fact donations are needed to fuel MAME does in no manner contradict the fact that MAME would not be what it is if not free. Besides if it wasn't a free program, many people wouldn't have donated money, time, resources or whatever to this project to begin with. The fact it was free and open source was crucial in its success.
