Change Commercial Support page

[Quintus]

First, thanks to @xet7 for setting up a money infrastructure for TSC. I have some suggestions for the exact wording, though, which I hereby publish for discussion.

I've changed the following things.

• Rename "Commercial Support" to "Support TSC". It just sounds incorrect to me to name it "commercial". TSC is not a commercial project, and I don't want that the impression arises. I understand that xet7 doesn't want to name it "donations", so I suggest "Support TSC" instead.
• Likewise, all appearences of "commercial" were stripped from the page text.
• I've written a sensible preamble that underlines the freetime character of TSC.
• I've made the scope of the two lists at the beginning more clear (payments with direction and payments without). I think this wasn't clear from the before text version.
• The payment direction "support for installing the TSC game" has been removed. This is not something the TSC project as a whole benefits from (because no code change or otherwise team activity results). It's only profitable for the person who gets payed for that. xet7, if you insist on this option, I can include a new paragraph that points out that you provide that.

Everyone: please review. This is something important for the project as a whole, and I'd like to have it properly set up before the 2.1.0 release.

Quintus, the only thing I notice in your pull request is that on line 11, 'payed' should be spelled 'paid'. 'Payed' is usually only used in a nautical sense.

I've fixed that. "paid" is correct of course.

the wording to go along with the donation amount makes very little sense to me. I would just put a line such as "Support Our Developers, the more you give the more time they can put towards your chosen issue/s" and not have the description per selection. Also, another option would be for people to give what they want. Having set numbers can actually be quite limiting on what people can do.

I'll let others comment on that before I change something.

Can not approve

Care to elaborate?

I have been told that the proposed wording conflicts with Finnish law. Any work a professional coder does against money must be marked as commercial support.

Alright,

I would just put a line such as "Support Our Developers, the more you give the more time they can put towards your chosen issue/s"

was just a suggestion to make the Paypal selection drop-down make more sense. If we word that differently, Im perfectly fine with that as well, I just wanted to mention it, as I was asked what I thought. Something along the lines of 'Pay for one of our Developers to work on the issue of your choice' would make more sense then. Its just a suggestion.
