Sponsors are free to decide who they sponsor and what they sponsor.
There's no need for any new rule ...
May i let you know that when I packaged sympa, it was in non-free and
that it was my first Debian package ? (jérôme is the maintainer of sympa
now and it has gotten a free software partly because I asked the authors
to change the license to meet the DFSG)
There's no need for any new rule about the sponsorship.

That's not true. I'm the counter example.
