I tend to think that PHP-specific product announcements are fine, so long as
they are courteous enough to prefix the subject with [ANNOUNCE] as is standard
on many lists. This allows those who don't want this content an easy way to
filter (whether automatically or manually by scanning subjects).
I also tend to distinguish between open source and commercial software in this
regard. It seems like a misuse of a list such as this to use it for marketing
and/or general advertising purposes for a commercial product. I think the best
way to market something like that is what Mr. Cummings is doing. Contribute to
the list and include a brief description of your product in your signature. The
more you contribute, the more people hear about your product. Everyone wins.
