See this software on Steam.
It's free, but if you scroll down the Store page you'll see the "Downloadable Content For This Software" section, and you'll see there's paid DLC you can buy for it.

That's how it works, Steam supports this for games and software for a while now.

I understand how DLC works but this would not provide DLC, to my knowledge.

I don't understand what you mean?
The OCCT team can add a "Support the Dev" DLC that costs money but doesn't add anything to the software, that's not a problem.

So if you really want to split hairs it wouldn't truly be "Downloadable Content", since the DLC would be empty, but that's not against the rules as far as I know.

It sounds like you understand exactly what I mean.

It’s not something I’d seen before, but I found software that already does donation DLC readily available on Steam. Here is an example.

Cool, thank you!
