[QUOTE="mPod, post: 56605, member: 11199"] That always has been possible and will always be, of course. But you won't get a guarantee that there is a developer in the team that has the knowledge/time/interest to implement that part. Chance are there, of course, just no guarantee. Of course, if you intend to donate a piece of hardware, the project manager would talk to you about if it's possible at all or not, you wouldn't donate hardware "blindly". No, there wouldn't be a problem at all. You just have to find one. Note that this wouldn't be related to the MP team. There is no problem at all in it. It's crystal clear, the license clearly states that all derived work has to be opened to the public. So every line of code this "paid" developer would create would have to be given to the team & put into SVN. As soon as a dev starts to work on MP source, he agrees to this license.
