I wonder if this legally sound.
Is that just wondering out loud, or a particular question? I think it
should be fine license-wise, except if they've included any
"non-commercial" hoohaw from non-free.
Probably the only potential sticking point is making source code
available, for those packages that have licenses that require source
code availability at no cost. I think that if you don't have to pay an
additional fee, on top of the first donation, to get the source code,
they should probably be in the clear.
