This is a very important first step towards pulling ad-supported, free software off the blacklist.  I hope Qualcomm does the same thing soon with Eudora.  I really liked Eudora and didn't really mind the ads too much.  Somewhere buried in the user agreement was a privacy clause, but a public statement like this will go a long way to alieve people's fears.
