I know of at least two occasions where there was a real discussion
with another organization that worked with Free Software who wanted to
advertise on the GNOME website.  We turned them both away because we
couldn't agree how to promote their organization on The GNOME website.

Perhaps I shouldn't have used the term "link exchange".  It really does
not describe well the two situations that we had in the past.  I used
the term more because I figured people would understand the concept.
