Planet MySQL AdSense Advertisement

As you probably know MySQL is Running AdSense Ads on PlanetMySQL.org for last few months. When the project was just started it was Ad free. I’m curious If MySQL Really ask syndicated Blog owners if they would allow that or if they just hope if someone does not like it he would speak up ?

I recently found an blog post on the same matter which make me to think on this once again.

So what is my take on this ? We currently run no Ads on MySQLPerformanceBlog and I would not like to see someone making money from something I have chosen to be free.

Would I like to be removed from PlanetMySQL aggregation ? No because many MySQL users are subscribed to PlanetMySQL rather than tens of individual MySQL blogs they would like to read, and I do not want to cut my RSS feed for the same reason.
