What about Paypal ? I don't know much about it, but I think people pay Paypal via credit card and Paypal deposits cash into your bank account. It's probably not very "professional" though...
Internet access at my university was a huge, powerful campus-wide network that only ran Pine and a FORTRAN compiler - not much good to anyone. I used my account to run SLIRP to create a dialup ppp connection to my home PC, but the sysadmins had a fit. I tried just renaming the binary and that worked for a while but then they booted me off for good.
What a waste of resources that was - all this hardware and effort to maintain a big expensive e-mail machine. In the end it worked out better for me, since I discovered cable modems and Linux masquerading!
How about all the other times they've "arsed up", like the insider trading fiasco, using the photo of a recently deceased child on the cover of Draw! without asking the parents' permission, and using the photo of an old-time actress (who they probably assumed was dead) on the cover of Draw! without asking her permission....
Within the open source community or not, they've more than used up their 3 strikes. Now they're working on their 9 lives!
[really, their worst mistake was building their corporate headquarters using that shiney gold reflective glass to cover the outside. The sun reflects off it and blinds you as you drive by it on the highway going east at sundown!]

This morning the CBC had an interview with the C.E.O of Corel, who also denied the rumor.
