 For accessibility, not all links must be underlined. When links are
 perceivable as links thanks to the context, for example in a navigation
 menu or in a set of UI controls, they often don't need to be underlined:

 However, when links are within a line/block of text or they aren't clearly
 perceivable as an actionable control, they should always be underlined.
 They can't rely on color alone because they could be hard to distinguish
 from the surrounding text for users with color blindness or other visual
 impairments.

 In the footer, the "Get Version" link could be an exception but all the
 other links should be underlined. To keep it simple I'd propose to
 underline them all.
