I'm completely opposed to allowing mandatory (or even opt-out) 
advertising into officially sanctioned Pidgin/libpurple releases--even 
if they benefit us or IMF.  I'm less opposed to opt-in advertising, but 
it's not something I'd really want to see.  In either case, I don't 
believe it belongs in a prpl.  Instead, such advertising should be a UI 
plugin (or the UI itself if someone wrote an ad-supported UI).

For reference, take a look at our Groupwise plugin.  It was initially 
developed and maintained by a Novell employee, and it contains no 
advertisements.
