Finally sign the petition to support NLnet.

I took the occasion of adding our views on NLnet funding as this is
probably something that not a lot of people see from the outside.

In order to increase the impact of signing the petition, I also wanted
to add some background about the strategic importance of the work
NLnet is doing and put that in a broader historic context, whose
impact go beyond the free software movement.

However it took some time as I had some difficulties writing the end
of the text in a way that didn't require too much political knowledge,
that was not tied to a specific set of countries (even in the European
Union, some of the member countries have very different histories) and
that also worked accross a wide set of political affiliations.

In addition due to various issues from all the people involved (me
included), the back and forth between reviews and new versions of the
text also took some time.

Thanks a lot to to Joonas Kylmälä for the review of the markdown file.
