I'm wondering if there's any official policy regarding crediting sponsors on G.D.O. - Could an individual credit sponsors in such a way as is displayed here?. Obviously there would have to be some guidelines if such a thing were allowed.

If nobody replies
Just stick an ad in here and see what, if any comments, it elicits <g>.

Wouldn't it depend on the group and its membership? Are these groups autonomous?
Would rather help define a policy
From what I can tell, there are varying degrees of precedent for this. Of course there's a difference between DIY like you see here -

http://groups.drupal.org/node/14587
http://groups.drupal.org/projects-needing-financing
.... and projects like these that are 'officially' endorsed

http://groups.drupal.org/knight-drupal-initiative
Problem is that without clear definition you always hear it from both sides.
Talk about $$...

Create an external site for more control, and you may get this -

There are specific issues in which we're trying to define some guidelines (as part of this project - http://groups.drupal.org/node/16144), but the challenge is trying to figure out what is acceptable in such a large group with few voices -

I do like the DIY approach, but I'm not sure just trying things out on someone else's site is the best idea.
