This topic probably warrants a separate post, but here’s the short version:

16% of users are okay with it, 39% don’t like the idea and 35% don’t care. The remaining 10% either asked for more information about the script or said they’d be okay with it being included if enabling it was optional. On the yes/no question, 39% said they would enable the script if it was included.

Personally, I’m simply not convinced the offer would be profitable enough to risk the users’ goodwill for. I mean, the only non-evil way to bundle the script is make its installation optional, and I can bet most users wouldn’t install it.

Nevertheless, I haven’t made the final decision yet.

I’m curious about the viralogy stuff, what users said and what are your thoughts about it. I’ve been approached by them too, but turned them down as I didn’t see any benefit in bundling their stuff (benefit for users, that is)
