If we're going to put the money to good use, definitely -- we should't
shun income while we can get it.

I don't think it's really important. I guess we should be fair to
everyone and not filter anyone if we decide to go with this. I have no
problem with advertising competing projects if it's clear that those ads
come from Google and have nothing to do with us -- we don't want to
*endorse* them, but I'm happy to let our users know that there are other
alternatives out there. 

They can then go disappoint themselves and come back to us <wink>.
