Always negative

[Paul Dupuis]

I am not sure why LC doesn't just play a DONATE (via paypal or 
something) button on either the https://livecode.org/ page or the 
https://livecode.org/contribute/ page

It's kind of hidden, but in the footer of 
https://www.joomla.org/contribute-to-joomla.html there is a link to 
donate (https://community.joomla.org/sponsorship-campaigns.html)

Ubuntu has https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you

Not every open source effort has a monetary contributions link, but many 
do - especially those without big corporate sponsors

If they had that link, especially if you could add a comment to your 
donation, people could donate and identify areas they'd like to see 
improvements on whether features or bug fixes.
