Expect to see forked version with the adware removed shortly after every new release. Likewise, from what I understand the ads are also only on the Win32 version too. Java being what it is, I wonder how hard it would be to get one of the non-windows distributions to work.
I don't think there is going to be a forked version, cause people who are knowing enough to create a forked version would probably rather install a non-windows distribution. - Using Linux for example, it would be enough, just to overwrite the .jar files with .jar files from another installer. (Although various helper applications to preview something won't work.)
