I have implemented a "buy on Android Market to donate" system. My application is available for free on XDA Developers as an APK. Many people take the plunge and make the 99 cent purchase because they were pleased with the APK download I provided.
In my opinion, this is the best way to distribute software. It curbs piracy (which is inevitable anyway) while allowing my downloaders to know they can buy the application to support the project.
