ICC isn't a commercial server like chessbase one. It's more like a club or union. So yes, they take money from their members, but they just given them back for examples "live grandmaster" events and "live commentaries". If you would read the ICC club policy you would know that the target isn't a big win like a typical company.
So what's the difference between FICS? It's no big deal. FICS lives from donations and ICC just takes the donations from there members.

Oh yes, and based on the number of visitors on these other ones, I vote for only including a menu item for FICS. After all, XBoard is free software on a free platform, so why support a commercial server like ICC?
