Question Downloadable Softwares - Ethics & Laws ?!

question...


Lets say I were to create a piece of software, for example a standalone .exe RSS reader available for FREE download off my site.

In my application, I have a blank area (which appears to be normal) - after offering my free application for one whole year...I decide to fill that blank area with an affiliate offer banner - which is controlled on my end

are there any rules against doing this? I mean, it IS my application I could do whatever I want. But where would I put a disclaimer saying that..."even tho you downloaded this software I can put whatever ad I want"

- Would this disclaimer be on the website itself? or in the installation process?

- good idea? or is this idea flawed?

- is this bad ethics?
