The first one seems a bit problematic to me, unless there are at least a =
handful of such sponsors and there's some diversity among them.

The others are fine IMHO. Contributors (including sponsors) are being =
acknowledged on the openafs.org web site. I'm not sure whether we're =
distributing "credits" with the source releases, but we probably aren't =
but should be.
