Ok -- but the vast majority (say, 95%) of OSS sites don't show ads.

Not on project websites, though.
In any case, I'd be fine with showing ads if there was a demonstrated
need for them (and no reasonable alternatives could be found). However,
that doesn't seem to be the case: the argument that ads are a necessary
compensation for mirrors is not convincing IMHO, given the huge number
of other OSS projects that use mirrors, and the relatively tiny number
that show ads as a result. If there's a better reason why we need to
show ads, what is it?
Cheers,
Neil
