It's not unclear. There have been several threads on it here, including one the Hun participated in.
If you'll review this thread

you'll see it is about Morpheus, an "Advertising Supported" free download. What all these free programs mean by "Advertising Supported" is additional, hidden, software programs that piggy back on the one the surfer wants. They cause pop ups, redirects, and all sorts of other "advertising opportunities" for the proprietors of the free software to sell.
This is the best quick education:

The biggest company pulling this is Gator. Gator calls it "providing the surfer with linking alternatives". It's not against the law, but it does suck.
