[wp-hackers] Advertising on Plugin Option Pages

[Mika A. Epstein]

Asking for donations is fine.  Even a call to action, so long as it 
keeps itself to the plugin admin page (i.e. it's not all over the main 
dashboard and doesn't interfere with normal WP usage).

The AdSense thing would be worthy of a Spock Eyebrow and a note to 
plugins at wordpress.org, IMO.  We are not the Google Police, but that 
ain't right.
