freedesktop.org owns the *.fd.o machines, which have been paid for by donations from generous sponsors (including Google and Intel), and the hosting is provided free of charge by the Computer Science department at Portland State University. The three Sun machines (expo.x.org and friends) at MIT were donated by Sun to MIT (or something to that effect - the end result is that we can't really move them), and the hosting bill is paid for by the X.Org Foundation. Most of this has been discussed in past Foundation board meetings.
