If HP want's to brand the distro, they can already. The source is over there. Mandrake, RedHat and others do it with their code, so HP can "fork" the distro as well and there is no way how MDK could force them to pay (except perhaps for permissions to use the trademarks and such). Of course, voluntary contribution from HP would be surely welcome :-)
If HP wants to have a distro branded for them, that's another thing, but what has this to do with putting ads in the default download version ?
