I remember using a version that had ads embedded in the app in my teenage years, and so avoided it for years afterwards, but then I had reason to use it 3-4 years ago and there are none. I don't know if this was something in an official build at one stage, or if I ran into one of the cases of someone rebuilding an open source app with ads in that happened in the mid 2000s (the paint.net author dubbed this "backspaceware" when he cited it as a reason he would no longer release source code).
