Well, on the other hand the money earned by ads would go back to the community so I see nothing bad about it.
For example I will present one little idea:
Now there is a system how you personally can donate somebody, but what about if there was a system where you could give somebody points and the points will actually mean donation from adds.
To explain it on an example. Lets say you (mouser) will make an update of FARR and I and the others will find it useful. Then I will give you my vote and the more votes you will get the more donation from adds you will get. Of course all this should be in small amount of money, but big enough to motivate you in further development. Also the system should somehow be protected against misuse. So I would be able to vote for you only lets say 1 per week or similar...
Also the money would give you a chance to do more contests with small prizes and to carry out other fun ideas. But I agree with you that big prizes would not be good.
So the summarize it. If the adds were for good of the community and for example the serial numbers in mouser's soft would be removed then I would be 100% for.
Maybe you should make a poll to see what people think about it?
