No, not exactly. DNS root servers are paid for via domain fees (ICANN).
So when I find free domain registration service for my domains it will be
just like LE, but until then...  ya, I have a problem, I want it free!

As long as we're on the same page of being not free, more like
donation-supported at the tune of $200k a month! I'm okay with LE
concept.

People will often call things free when they don't pay for them
directly out of pocket. In that sense you can call it free. 

PS: still looking for free domains, admins, and servers because I
believe they ought to be free!
