1c. 2a. 3d.
For the reasons already highlighted. Completely agree.

Same, I am still open to discussion about those topics, but my starting position would be:
1c: Up the price for footer links (by *a lot* : I see the footer acknowledgment as "Your contribution is *essential* to the project or the website") and make sure it's very clear that footer links will always have nofollow
2a: Sure, the sponsorships seem not very expensive currently, tbh
3d: I see the follow/nofollow question as a "is that link relevant to the context ?" question. So when you make a blogpost about X, it seems normal to put a (follow) link. I would also agree to them on the "current sponsors" page, for the same reason. However, for footer links or for the front page, it would seem artificial, so nope.

Hmm, I'm not 100% sure of my votes, but for the moment:
1c. Keep the perk but up the prices. 2a. But do we have a summary of all previous sponsorships? 3d. Allow follow links on news articles and for sponsorships. For a fee
elsewhere provided the sponsor has some connection to Inkscape's mission (vector art site, etc.).
