<h2>MediaArea products with 3rd party sponsored offers during the installation</h2>

Nor is there any "call home" (except if you want to be informed of new releases - you can uncheck the corresponding checkbox in the preference screen, at any time, if you don't want to be informed of new versions).<br/>

<h2>What if I have another ad or if I have an adware/spyware after installation?</h2>

<h2>What if I still don't want to be pestered by these ads?</h2>
36-
If you still don't want the software distribution network stuff, you can:
37-
<ul>
38-
<li><a href="{{ path('mi_donate') }}">Donate</a>. With $1/1€ (is it so expensive? Really?), you will have an installer without the software distribution network and no ads on the website.</li>
39-
<li>Use the package without the installer in the download section (<a href="{{ path('mi_download_windows') }}">MediaInfo download section for Windows</a>)</li>

</ul>

<h2>But isn't it open-source software?</h2>
30+
It has been open-source software since day one and still is today, as you can see in the <a href="https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/License">license</a>.<br/>
31+
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source">Open-source</a> doesn't prohibit ads.<br/>
32+
33+
<h2>This is always displayed!</h2>
34+
For the largest ads, there is an "X" on the top right of the ad in the MediaInfo interface that you can click to close it (it won't reappear quickly).<br/>
35+
36+
<h2>This is an anti-feature!</h2>
37+
It depends on your point of view. Empty software or software with fewer features may be considered less good than software with an ad.
38+
39+
<h2>What if I still don't want to be bothered by these ads?</h2>
40+
If you still don't want the software distribution network stuff, you can <a href="{{ path('mi_donate') }}">donate</a>. For $1/1€ (is that so expensive? Really?), you will have an installer without the software distribution network and no ads on the website.<br/>
