[Qgis-psc] Github sponsorship

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi all,

@Marco: it is also for tax reasons. Sponsorships are subject to VAT, 
memberships and donations are not. But a small amount of sponsoring 
money would be fine, as long as we don't surpass 150 k CHF per annum of 
total income that is subject to VAT. I don't expect huge amounts from 
the github sponsorships. At least not in the beginning.

Anyway - thanks for the negotiations with github!

Greetings,

Andreas
