[GRASS-PSC] Proposed mail: Support GRASS GIS financially !

[Huidae Cho]

Hi Moritz,

It looks good and I agree with Vero. I just have one more comment. Why
don't we add direct links to companies, associations, and institutions?
Since the individual list is long, which is great, that single link kind of
gave me an impression that it's only for individuals? I just had to scroll
down to find other entities, which, I assume, can contribute more
significant amounts. It'll also help potential individual sponsors see that
GRASS also has received/is receiving corporate sponsorship, and feel the
significance of the project.

Other than that, +1 from me.

Best,
Huidae
