If you donate, dev doesn't have to pay taxes. If you buy, dev becomes more popular because one more sale.

Advice?

If you donate to the devs, of course they still have to pay taxes. That's still income.

Just because you give money to someone or something it doesn't make it a charitable organization that doesn't get taxed.
