There is no harm in developing a program for using credit card numbers, even if it is used by institutions involved in some unlawful activities, provided their main work is not exclusively unlawful, or if it is used by holders of cards involved in unlawful transactions. This is because it is a means that is not exclusively dedicated to unlawful purposes. Furthermore, there is no obligation to donate a portion of the salary unless it is done voluntarily.
