Wrong. We don't make profit. In fact, our laws in gemany do not allow
universities to make profit. The money we raise is used for maintenance
of our equipment and for paying (small) wages to the students running the
backbone, and last not least for paying our share of transmission-costs
to the european backbone mcvax. 
We have to spend money for running the backbone and for getting a
computer on which we can do serious work, because our university
is not willing to pay or contribute system-time anymore, and noone
is donating us anything.

We like to have as much users as possible to minimize the costs for everyone.

No problem in germany too, as long as 1 is paying and the rest does
not want to appear explicitly in the maps.

Maybe noone is following the discussion: read dfk@cwi's article...
