As owner and admin-c of gnubg.org I once in a while get request from play65/ge and other companies. Usually I forward them to Oystein and send a short comment that we are not interested.
Perhaps it's not unimportant to know, that years ago we agreed on a small contract including a banner on the page. After one month they didn't pay (using a lame excuse) and we stopped the whole thing.
