How much can we trust these statistics? I can say that my 9 CCFLS libraries are not on this list.

I believe that The Community feels very strongly otherwise, since more that 75% of the recent voting valued ownership issues, compared to less than 20% who wanted to actually promote Koha to libraries.
That's kind of too bad, that 20% thing, because -- contrary to the notion that any company can "cash in" on Koha's good name -- virtually no one knows what the heck a Koha is.

I now have a corrected understanding of Nicole's position. However much better it would be to have only community versions of Koha demonstrations linked from the community website, I would rather we not advocate purity in a manner that LibLime is liable to respond to in the most negative manner.
At this time, I prefer that we ask LibLime to demote their non-community demonstrations as linked from the community website in favour of community demonstrations with no subtle advertising. I prefer a gentler approach to LibLime than asking them to eliminate links to their demonstrations. In suggesting this approach, I am hoping that we would be encouraging LibLime to act more favourably towards the community which I hope that they would reciprocate.
I am advocating this less than pure approach for the time being to see if it may have a favourable effect.
