Do the work and take the risk - a PHP contract to avoid

Here's a programming task that I won't be bidding for, and I would suggest that anyone else who looks at it be very careful ...

"We need very talented people who are willing to take a % of our advertising networks revenue, instead of an upfront payment. So the idea here is you will be working for free for the first 2 or or 3 months (casual part time), but once the intitial work is done your going to be earning a on going commission for the lifetime of the network."

Is it just me, or is the author of this post saying that he doesn't have enough faith in his scheme to put his own money in and pay you ... he wants you to take his risk.
