As someone pointed out before, this language was a holdover from the Koha site policy that was the model for our own. Here is their wording (from http://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/how-to-get-listed/):
"Companies must show their support of the Koha Community by adding a visible link to the Koha community website at http://www.koha-community.org to their Koha offering web page." Slight difference in their wording and ours: "Companies and non-profit organizations providing Evergreen services must take the following steps to be added to the Evergreen Paid Support Services page:" ... "Show support for the Evergreen community by adding a visible link on their Evergreen offering page to the Evergreen community web site at http://evergreen-ils.org"; I would be curious to know if the Koha community uses their policy to enforce particular content (beyond the link back) on each vendor's web site.
