[MaraDNS list] Discussion: Putting ads on the MaraDNS web page

[JFC Morfin]

Sam,
this is an excellent thing! We need for credibility reasons that you 
get enough revenues from MaraDNS to pay for its continuous support by 
you or another person. This is one of the reason why I am so slow in 
building a "fork" (actually an extension based on MaraDNS). As you 
know, being myself strangled into FLOSS R&D for politrical 
independence reasons, I cannot spend too much on this. But as an 
individual searcher I am ready to allow a paypal $ 100 @ month budget 
for the help I am expecting from a trested because financially 
stabilized MaraDNS.
