Then why doesn't Wikimedia just donate to Freenode? :-p
Because our donors have been given the impression the money was going towards Wikimedia's own servers and not to third parties. If this is going to be done in future, the "how we spend the money" page needs to be updated to reflect that.
Freenode's fundraising drive has now finished successfully by the way.
