Ok -- but the vast majority (say, 95%) of OSS sites don't show ads. > And I just checked ... so does Sourceforge ... Not on project websites, though. In any case, I'd be fine with showing ads if there was a demonstrated need for them (and no reasonable alternatives could be found). However, that doesn't seem to be the case: the argument that ads are a necessary compensation for mirrors is not convincing IMHO, given the huge number of other OSS projects that use mirrors, and the relatively tiny number that show ads as a result. If there's a better reason why we need to show ads, what is it?
