[atlas] Using Atlas for commercial services

As already said, commercial usage would also mean that you have to earn
credits in some way.

As far as I know, it's only possible to earn credits by
- hosting probes itself
- sponsoring new probes
- getting a LIR

In either of the first two cases, the atlas project will benefit from it.
The third one is a special case and isn't worth a discussion.

So I think we should allow commercial usage of the Atlas project, if
commercial usage still means to support the Atlas project itself because of
the need for credits!
Would be a win-win situation.
