Hehe, not being a businessman of any sort, I guess when I say "advertising" I take a wider view. To me, the entire search engine and data is an advertisement. So pardon the semantics.

And to me, it should be pretty evident if payment or donations are possible. How do you collect it, if you don't advertise for it? So, it'll be a link on the webpage, or talk about credits or god money or something in the news/help

And given that many people are very serious about the "100% free" thing, I can imagine how quickly they would be savaged here if they lied about this. The wording leaves little to weasel around (at least for the "accept no payments or donations of any kind" choice)

Verifying the size of the world is to me a lot harder. And so is originality perhaps (and that is open to interpretation). And RP... all of which are currently search criteria.
