A Google search for "apache license" triggers a border of Christmas tree ornaments alongside the adwords. This doesn't affect searches such as "apache", "license", "pache license", or "apache licens".

Try it here: http://www.google.com/search?q=apache+license

Can't see it. Are you logged in?

I couldn't see it either – but then I disabled experimental search and it worked – try that

I typed in "infiniti fx chrome tail lights" and got little snow-mans next to the ads. I am not able to replicate it with any other search query. Is anyone else getting this?
