Transifex has become proprietary

[Dimitris Glezos]

Oliver, Transifex is already offering a larger plan for Fedora for free for
a couple of years now, and we'll continue to do so. We're proud of our
origins and are respectful and thankful for all the support Transifex has
had from Fedora. I still remember when we were trying to decide on a name
for Transifex in #fedora-admin. =)
