I knew it was there somewhere.  (I see now--prominently, even!)

I don't think many occasions call for you to quote the file contents.
In your position I would simply have the URL to this file handy for any
occasion where someone takes a run at my transparency.

In fact I think your approach to disclosure is near-optimal.  In my view
it is strongly superior to slathering acknowledgements of your sponsors
on all of your emails in your capacity as Linux man-pages maintainer,
which would degrade software engineering into something like NASCAR.

(There I go, alienating yet another fan community...)

Regards,
Branden
