+engineering time, infrastructure, or other in-kind support. Sponsorship does
+not confer project ownership, governance authority, or control over technical
+decisions or conformance results.

+conformance ecosystem.

+endorsement of a sponsor's products or grant influence over conformance
+criteria, test outcomes, or release decisions.
