Yes, this is exactly, what i meant. People can use unfree licenses, but when doing this, it should not be advertised on the main flightgear.org website, at least not for free and not in a way that the visiter gets confused. They should look after their own way to do the advertisement. The flightgear.org website should not be misused for such none free addons. And when those people who want to distribute their none free addons really want some advertisement on the flightgear.org website, then they should pay for this. But the point is, the flightgear.org website shouldn't do this advertisement for free or near the other GPL'd addons. It should be clear for a visiter that such thing is an advertisement and not a part of the page. So a simple link would not be okay.
