I think the point is not for the user to make money, but the people bundling the toolbar. I think ask.com pays whoever bundles their toolbar so it's basically advertising money, at least it seems like that for me.

That's what he is asking: How much money Oracle gets per install?

Yes, I'm fairly certain that's what the parent meant. If he was running a company doing the bundling, how much would he get paid if his bundle installed the toolbar 1000 times, now how much would he as an end user get if he installed it 1000 times on his own machines.

  Aha! that makes more sense. I read that as if the user would get money for using ask.com toolbar. But yeah, thanks to both of you. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if ask.com is willing to bundle their toolbar with any product. Maybe they select only high-volume products?
