Just an FYI I did indeed get 10BTC donated to me about an hour ago.
That's nice, but are you a "charity"?
He's donated a shit-ton of work, time, and intellectual property to the bitcoin community, if that's what you're asking...
He doesn't have a piece of paper from the dot-gov declaring him a registered religion, if that's what you're asking...
A trade of hardware for software isn't a donation, IMHO.
