An easy ethical solution to this would be for the WMF to go on the record of stating what their relationship, financial or otherwise, was with any and all websites listed in the Interwiki map.
I suggest you are ill-placed to mention the word "ethical" in connection to anything anyone else should do, particularly Wikipedia:

David,
Can we please stick to the subject?
I happen to agree that *perception* is important in this case. While our goals have to do with promoting free content, those goals will be hindered by the perception of any conflict of interest or shady back-room deals.
I for one want to make sure there is no unnecessary ammunition for those who want to discredit Wikipedia or the Foundation.
