I don't know their hosting costs or if they have any need for more. But that money (or the investment returns) could be well spent on marketing for the project.

To date the FreeBSD Project has benefited from the generosity of a number of users of FreeBSD who donate data center space and connectivity. Some examples are Yahoo!, NYI, ISC, and Sentex.
The point about the need for and value of marketing is well taken; Anne Dickison joined the Foundation as Marketing Director earlier this year.
