Except that you used the word "must", whereas the original request for
cash used the word "can".  I read this as an option, not a requirement.

In any case, a statement like this would be better included in a readme
file instead of with the license, and make sure that it emphasizes that
monetary contributions are not mandatory.

Something along the lines of "If you liked this program, please
consider supporting further software development by contributing..." in
the documentation would be okay, IMHO.
