Well all that is fair, the devil definitely is in the details here.
I can empathise with the reasons to avoid opt out for them, if they view themselves as a transparent third party, then their perspective would be the same as the suggestion I put forward. That people are putting their money towards a project by their own volition. From that perspective, there's nothing the owner can do about it but ask people not to do it.
My post was made before I had gone through the bulk of text in this discussion, so I can see the issue there.
I have to agree with all your points, but your conclusion and ours are different.
Despite the complications, I don't see why a projects head have an innate right to prevent donations to that projects developers. I keep seeing this sentiment come up over and over. I do disagree with that.
