I'm merely defending the actions of the maintainer: it's not obvious to
me that summarily removing a clearly objectionable 24-line sponsorship
message is objectionable, as long as actual author credits (copyright
notices) remain.

I'm willing to disagree on this.

(And, although Hans says the issue was resolved, I still don't believe
he's said publically exactly which issue we've been talking about ...)
