I like this idea, like the project trying to enlist free software as Unesco
world heritage.
I know people
are going to yell at me, but I think Google AdSense
would produce an incredible amount of money for the project. We
could show them to anonymous users and people who log in could turn
them off if they wanted. Well anyway, it's just a suggestion, don't
bite my head off.
I know that not many people share my curious political views, but to
me, it's much worse to seek money from governments, i.e. to ask them
to take money by force from others, than it is to accept advertising
money.
Indeed. ;o)
This one I don't like very much. For me getting money from Unesco or
governments is not exactly the same thing. And from big private companies is
not better than from governments.
However, it is not clear to me that ads would produce
"an incredible
amount of money". I should look at the traffic and make an estimate,
just so we have some awareness of what we're giving up.
