I am willing to ask WMF Legal for its opinion
regarding the use of
Wikimedia Foundation mailing lists for advertising commercial hosting

letter of the law, I don't think that it's consistent with the intentions
of donors or my understanding of the Wikimedia Foundation brand.
Pine, I hope WMF Legal won't care and won't comment. They likely have
better things to spend time on than telling a community how they may or
may not define the scope of one of the community mailing lists.
As a general reminder,
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Professional_development_and_consulting
exists, is linked from the
mediawiki.org frontpage, and welcomes edits
(which has already happened in this case).
