Background
A new sponsor is asking us for follow links and footer links in a pretty aggressive way. It seems like the project might be offering ourselves up for abuse by people who want search engine optimisation.
RedHat have recently also sponsored us for $20k, this puts their sponsorship at twice our highest level, and it wasn't even a sweat for them.
