There is a very fine line between donations and profiting/marketing. This is across the board and rules are varying across regions/states.
In your example. You could accept a "donation" but if you continue to accept "donations" for your prints over a period of time then you are making a profit. Same example can be applied to a home brewer. They can brew their own beer for their own consumption but cannot sell that beer. Now if they took a "donation" on what they produced then, again, there is a fine line. Each state even has it's own line in all of those regards.
In some of the examples of this said pilot, they were accepting donations and possible monetization from not flying by the rules of the sky. And, it sounds like, flying in a manor that puts people at risk that just can't pull over to the side of a road.
