potential commercial businesses would be: "We don't want your money, we
want your support, your cooperation and compliance. - We're happy to
link to your site if it offers useful information, specs, software or
supports linuxaudio - but we won't sell links."
I join in with the chorus
in agreeing here. I don't think advertising is
particularly evil, but I do *not* think it belongs on the community
centre corkboard.
Another point is, if a company is Linux-friendly, it shouldn't have to
pay to be listed, it should pretty much be automatic. If we want random
"spots" on linuxaudio.org, why not compile a roster of friendly companies,
useful projects and websites and display one randomly on every page load?
