the downloadcounter (which unfortunately is broken at the moment) can 
give a hint which extensions are installed often. So this was a hint how 
much an extension is usable for people. 


As Mathias I can understand people willing to get money for their work, 
especially if it is used very often. It is everyones own decision which 
kind he will use. It's a question wether you frighten off people.

I would not use banner advertising (I don't use it even for my own site). 
I don't think advertising-links in the manual are appropriate.
For me a link in the documentation to my own site is ok, there could be 
advertising. Especially if there is more information/ examples for the 
extension it is useful for admins to have this link.
