I would declare an official stance that you get one link, but with the
caveat that we're all only human - violations might not always be
noticed immediately. (That's just to silence the "but Daaaaaad, you
didn't spank Timmy when HE did that" complaint.) Once it's known that
someone's put multiple sites in, we'll remove all but one, and
possibly all. So, yeah, I'd remove the spares. If, as Guido says,
they're trying to make money off free docs, I'd remove all those
links.
