I've not used KDE for a very long time, are you saying that they now have shareware-style nag dialogs in KDE itself? Or is this just something on the KDE website, like Wikipedia does?

It's a desktop notification that fires once toward the end of the year. It can be disabled by the user, and distributions can also pre-disable it (some do).

In Wikipedia's case the website is the product, so I'd say it's about the same.

Yes but KDE actually needs money, unlike Wikipedia.

Never thought I'd see the day when FOSS defends advertising embedded in a desktop environment.

		It's not advertising. And what you quoted was an explanation, not a defense.
