The reason I have not allowed donations so far is threefold: 1) I was  
too lazy to figure out how that would affect taxes  2) I am not a non- 
profit and I don't think donations would be tax deductible and 3)  
money wouldn't help the development of OctaveDE that much.  I really  
need time (and that is hard to come by as a graduate student and  
father of 3) and other volunteers.

However, if instead of money your company could donate a developer's  
time equivalent to the money donation, that would be spectacular.   
Otherwise, I would recommend you donate the money to Octave (through U  
of Wisc) and it can be a tax deductible donation.
