The servers aren't owned by volunteers but provided free of charge by a number of companies (mostly not related to Lee) All they get in return is a small acknowledgement on the MOTD and the acknowledgement page. They are managed by the volunteers though, and the sponsoring authorities don't get operator rights on the network.
