Donationware: you must donate to use it. Not like regular optional donates.

There is also software that you could compile from source yourself but the binaries are locked behind a donation. Are those also donationware?

Theres also software you can download for free, but you gotta pay for the password to unlock the rar file...

Paid software is completely fine with RMS as long as the source is available to the users (not even to everyone) as long as you can freely redistribute the source (like RHEL before they enshittified)
