Transparency.

Readers may have noticed that each documentation chapter has several advertisements in the footer. To remove all doubt, advertisements do not:

• result in monetary compensation for the Kicksecure project;
• influence the direction of Kicksecure development; or
• lead to changes in Kicksecure software or website choices (apart from the advertisement itself).

The present list of advertisements includes:

• Evolution Host: provides system administration advice for the kicksecure.com website.

The past list of advertisements includes:

• Fosshost: fosshost.org was a non-profit organization that provided hosting services to the open source community. Fosshost provided a stage server for Kicksecure^™.
• Jobble: link exchange. It showed advertisements for Kicksecure for related searches.
• Search engines (YaCy | Qwant | ecosia | MetaGer | peekier): This is a voluntary listing by Kicksecure and no discussions have occurred with any of these services. Also see this forum post.

Any future changes will be documented on this page.

Affiliate Policy

This is only a consideration for a hypothetical future situation. Example: a VPN provider would offer sponsorship if Kicksecure would provide a wizard for easily setting up VPN [trial] accounts.

• non-default option
• non-persuasive option
• installing only Freedom Software by default (no non-Free, proprietary, nagware)
• transparency about the partnership
• maybe publishing scale of sponsorship (sum)
• sticking to fair, nuanced, intellectually honest option about pros and cons

  • https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Features#VPN_.2F_Tunnel_support
• no marketing lies
• wizard for easily setting up [trial] accounts
• easily replaceable with other vendors
