[Qgis-psc] Ads in plugins -- allowed?

[Nathan Woodrow]

Yeah I would be very against removing that page.  QGIS doesn't live in a
vacuum and those commercial providers helps us even if indirectly via
training people. Everyone is allowed to make money from qgis if they can
work out how.

Regards: ads in plugin IMO it isn't our call to make I don't think. It is a
3rd party plugin. Generally it is against the spirit I would say but really
I don't think we should enforce a rule provided it isn't 1) intrusive 2)
for bad stuff like viruses or phishing attack stuff.

Ads in core qgis. never.
