IMHO, this is definitely on topic for a list managers mailing list.

I would certainly object to someone else making profit from a list
which I host, free of charge, as a community service.  Anyone who
wants to keep their mailing list private and free from commercial
influences has my support.  Why should an outsider benefit financially
from the efforts of a a list admin and his/her subscribers?  Sorry.  
You get no sympathy from me on this whatsoever.  Wanna make a buck on
mailing lists?  Open your own lists.  Leave my list and my subscribers
the alone.  We can get along just fine without any money changing
hands.
