 * This plugin add a link at the bottom of the sitemap output. This violates the
   WordPress plugin submission guidelines (see #10 here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/guidelines/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/guidelines/))

 * 10. The plugin must not embed external links on the public site (like a “powered
   by” link) without explicitly asking the user’s permission. Any such options in
   the plugin must default to NOT show the link.
 * My plugin gives the user an option to either display the link or not.
 * I haven’t violated anything.

 * This plugin gives you an option to remove this link with just one click.
 * However by default it’s always on.
