“Ad Bard was a breath of fresh air in the already
crowded advertising networks arena lead by behemoths like Google
Adsense. In 2009 when Ad Bard network first came into existence,
FSF proudly proclaimed, “The Free Software Community now has an
ethical alternative to ad networks that promote proprietary
software.” Ad Bard was a truly promising venture.“But it’s all going to end in another month or so. Ad Bard is
finally shutting down.”
