Hi Ned, That is a very different issue as the ads are similar to what we see when browsing. These ads are commonly provided by 3rd party ad networks and not directly related to the package maintainer.
As for this proposal, think of it as links, messages, or announcements specific to the package/library. We install these packages using pip, poetry, etc. but we don't see anything in the terminal that gives them credit for their work.
