Isn't advertising a form of support. A quote from <http://www.openoffice.org/contributing/marketing.html>.

What are you trying to say? I am perfectly aware that we have legitimate
cd distributors. I do not think that the above applies to free-loading
exploiters.
If you think that it is okay, you provide the support.
My point is that I don't see how they are exploiting us? Our own web page encourages distributing for a profit.
Furthermore, it doesn't matter if I provide support when they get other messages from people telling them that since they bought this product we aren't going to help them. It give a bad impression OOo and the users list.
You of course are free to say what you want, but I would like the users to be cut some slack and not be made to feel like criminals for purchasing something.
