No, not exactly. DNS root servers are paid for via domain fees (ICANN). So when I find free domain registration service for my domains it will be just like LE, but until then... ya, I have a problem, I want it free! As long as we're on the same page of being not free, more like donation-supported at the tune of $200k a month! I'm okay with LE concept. People will often call things free when they don't pay for them directly out of pocket. In that sense you can call it free. PS: still looking for free domains, admins, and servers because I believe they ought to be free! -Simon
