Is there any interaction between those servers and the open use
servers?  If not, then I don't see how their existance matters to how
Razor operates in general.

Requiring a user to establish their reliability over a period of time
before their vote counts seems like it would reduce the effectiveness
of creating a new account to "erase" a poor trust score.  And that
would be the case regardless of who ran the server in question,
assuming that server doesn't accept information from other servers
that have different rules.  Each site/group has their own
server/database and their own user base.  Razor can come with whatever
default set of trust scoring rules that the authors desire.  The
purchasers of razor servers are free to change those rules as they
please -- and live with the results.  But their results don't affect
the "main" database, do they?  Isolated corporate razor servers
shouldn't have any more bearing on razor than the existence of DCC or
Pyzor.  They are separate systems and don't interact, except through
the actions of their users.
