RPCS3 is funded by voluntary Patreon supporters, but they still offer the emulator for free and its open-source. They were hit with a Cease and Desist (or DMCA, idr) by Atlus because they showcased Persona 5 being emulated. To comply with the order, they removed all screenshots and videos of the game, removed it from their games database (it is known as Unnamed), and they don't support anyone asking for help with it. But that was enough to satisfy Atlus, so RPCS3 is still going strong today.

This guy, from all that I've read, has a perfectly good role model for funding his efforts, and CDPR is probably not nearly as trigger-happy than Atlus, and yet he just keeps digging down.
