I recall earlier someone putting "credits" in the applications that they 
maintained that were incendiary and politically motivated.  Those credits 
were removed and the person who put them there decided, as a result, to 
remove their apps from kde CVS.

I believe that one justification for this was that when one decides to put 
their apps under the auspicies of KDE, or donate resources, that they don't 
have complete control of how those resources are used, and if they don't like 
it, they can leave, which was the option this person eventually took.

I really don't see how one can be permitted to put an advertisement on a page 
that purports to speak for KDE without setting a precendent, and not only 
that, but permitting a double standard.

I am not KDE and I don't speak for KDE, but I am not a fan of double 
standards.

Sorry if I'm a little incoherent, I got hit by a car on sunday and am in a bit 
of pain...
