I didn't mean "read the text" because I didn't know what to expect - a video,
a picture, text - but given that it was in fact text, you interpreted
correctly what I ought to have meant. So thank you. :-)

I agree. It was pretty much what I already understood. Some approve on the
basis that Canonical has to pay for all those developers somehow, some
disapprove because Ubuntu is "meant" to be Open Source, for which they read
FOSS, with the F standing for gratuit, not FLOSS.
Speaking personally, I can say with certainty that one of the advantages
(silver lining and all that) of having my particular eyesight problems is
that I don't/can't see ads at the side. So they don't bother me, and it
makes no difference to me whether they are targetted or not!
