I am an iTerm2 user. I think it's a fantastic product.

That being said, if I see a pop-up dialog with an advertisement coming from my terminal application, I am going to uninstall it immediately and never think twice about it again.

I thought iterm was open source.

It is. The advert was to notify you that the iTerm 3 beta is available and that it has some cool features.

It did not ask for donations. It was purely informational.
