Christos already got you the "go ahead!" for that, I can only second that. 
Feel free to let us know about your site once it's up, as we're always 
curious about what people do with NetBSD - posting to this list is fine.

Regarding advertizing: "NetBSD" and its logo are registered trademarks. As 
long as it's clear that you're not "The NetBSD Project" (or any of its 
officially affiliated groups), I don't see much of a problem. For the logo 
use, there's some lose policy of "use it, and if you earn lots of money, 
share some". Nothing you should feel too pressed about. (If you're 
interested in using the logo esp. on any products, feel free to contact 
logo@NetBSD.org so you get this in an official fashion).

Regarding developing and software based on NetBSD: Just do it. Most of our 
software is licensed under the BSD license, which permits modification 
without the need for you to publish any of your modifications. Please 
check carefully, as this does differ for some portions of the source code 
(e.g. src/gnu, which is under the GPL). No licensing is needed from your 
side. But if you make lots of money, you're again welcome to donate back. 
:)

If you have further questions, please let me know.
