55k is just the cost of the server. The total cost is 400k

Holy guacamole, I didn't scroll down far enough. Thank you for pointing this out.
"French taxes" is $53k, which is nearly equal to their server fees. Wow.
Props to them for however they manage to get $400k/yr for a free project with no business model, and no intended business model. (I'm serious; it's a wonderful thing for the world, and a tremendous example of what people can achieve without having a monetary focus.)
