Well, I strongly suggest to not change this behaviour as many open source programs use this mechanism of donation. Would you prefer it shareware? Azureus is licensed under the GPL, the GPL stands that you could even sell your software so I don't see a problem with this window. It's a way for people to contribute to the effort that the programmers are taken into build the software you are merely using. They're doing a great work and I think they work should have a profit, so preventing all ubuntu users from donating to the azureus team doesn't seem a good idea to me. Also, I'm not a lawyer but that's my personal preference.

In the case you decide to go ahead and disabling the behaviour (I won't adopt such a radical solution in debian, I'm contacting upstream to make timing more slow aka don't show it that often), I think removing code is not the best idea for a patch. Thanks for your contribution, but I think the attached one is cleaner.
