It is, and it should just say so on the website (or even a request to
link to us if appropriate).

Likewise, right there on the website.

So request that people who link to us let us know.  Or look in the
logs for Referer and google for mentions.

Because if I feel like maybe linking, and I see you want me to jump
through hoops, I won't bother.  If you just provide logos, that's
great; and if you ask me to let you know, sure, no problem.

But wanting me to _request_ permission and _wait_ and then do
something later?  Not worth the effort.
