I do understand your point of view, that free software can print any message in my terminal - or do whatever it wants, really, I'm using it for free and I have no right to complain. I wasn't really offended by it, my reaction was without (much) emotion. It was just based on my own standards of acceptable behavior that I expect from what runs in the terminal. There's a time and place for ads (not in my logs), or people posting personal messages (maybe link to their blog or site?).. Imagine if more package developers/maintainers decided to advertise in this way, it would ruin the calm and peace of working in the terminal.
