What rubbish. Free doesn't mean "non-commercial", it means "free to
use, modify and copy."
As a longtime free software and free content advocate, I'm really fed
up of this illiterate opposition to use of advertising to fund
Wikimedia's servers
Some people must think servers maintain themselves, and that bandwidth
is a costless commodity, and that people answer phones on a volunteer
basis... That is a joke right, especially in the US!
