I'd interpret this as "if we reach $7.5M, Wikipedia will be ad-free
forever". I really wish that'd be the case, but if not, people (from
simple dudes to legal trolls) might come out of the woodwork screaming
fraud.
Strange, I'd interpret it as "Wikipedia will be ad-free forever. Now,
hand over the cash."
But afaik the foundation has never said such a thing. The last I heard
was Jimbo saying "not anytime soon, and only if there is some major
shift in public opinion".
