I went to donate some money to Cyberduck but I decided not to after I saw the big banner that told me I should vote for California Proposition 8, which is a terribly bigoted ballot measure. See attached screen-dump PNG

FYI, these the pro-8 folks bought massive amounts of google adsense ads yesterday targeting californians

(so it wasn't anything that cyberduck did specifically).

That said, by serving ads on the donate/buy page, you both risk people following the ads (and forgetting to come back) and see something they do not like.

Cyberduck is not into politics. Advertisements displayed on [cyberduck.ch] are not my own opinion and you can't derive an endorsement on my part thereof. Usually these ads are displayed for other commercially available OS X software with a similar feature set as Cyberduck.

I have removed the ad banner from the donation page for these reasons now. The page has not much content and therefore is a target for non-software related ads.
