When the project started I reached out and asked for permission multiple times and never got a response. It's not a new project though we're almost done with a complete re-code and I'm sure they're aware we exist. If the patreon is a problem we can always remove it. Podcasts and other content providers use donations and stuff like that, so I figured why can't we? Anyone can contact me with any questions. Also, thanks for the plug @trikk!
