Allowing such public service ads is a lapse of NPOV policy.
Showing ads for, for example, anti-patent groups, gives the idea that Wikipedia supports these groups.
We have already discussed adding a site notice of "Thank you Poland!", I can't see how this would be any different.

That was exactly my thought. AdCouncil advertisements are very, very biased in many cases, and even misrepresent facts to support an agenda from time to time. I'm not sure that's a good idea for Wikipedia.
