[Marketing] Donate button

[Sean DALY]

Hi Christian

For my part I don't like "keep learning free" since it implies
learning will become somehow unfree if there isn't a donation to Sugar
Labs, a strange conclusion to say the least.

I feel other phases would be much more appropriate:

spread sugar
support sugar learners
help us build sugar

Marleters - any preferences?

Sean
