[us-marketing] CNET bundling GNU w/"toolbars"

G'day;

This has blown up in CNET's face and rightfully so.  Unfortunately, it
looks like their management won't be halting this practice, entirely, at

Is there someone in the LibO community who manages the CNET relationship?
 They should be made aware of this.
