So that's basically a donation. There are a few donation systems you can
directly use on your website, https://flattr.com/ being one of them. But
an "emacs-shop" on the model of (say) apple store seems unlikely to go
very far.

I could see some money being made on some kind of standalone org-mode
though - a growing number of people are using emacs just for org.
