Nice of you to offer these during development. Personally, I don't mind bundled software as long as there is the *option* to not install the extra software (some are deceptive and don't allow this, but I know JD would never pull anything like that
)
You have to earn your money *somehow*. Frankly, an "ad panel" (SMALL) wouldn't even bother me - used to have that with the old Net Vampire
I'd rather have something like that and have revenue at least trickle in and development continue, than have no revenue and development be forced to stop.
