I got an email this morning from a company called WhenU who wanted saw my DB Converter as an interesting product with "significant user value". They proposed a partnership proposal that would "increase [my] revenue while offering value to [my] users."
Sorta funny... considering I give my conversion software away for free. That's the beauty of the GNU GPL. I let the internet and the software advertise itself. I don't do anything.
So, I did a quick google search. Funny what the first result said... AdWare: "Adware.WhenU is an adware component that displays advertisements that are targeted to you and are based on your Web browsing habits."
I pity the people who actually get sucked into the crap.

Hahah... as soon as I saw "WhenU" I knew where it was going.
They probably like the popularity of your program, so they want it and inject evil ads! paying you mere pennies while they reap the rewards of raping unsuspecting users while you take the blame!
