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.
Oh, so you have defined the purpose for Wikimedia donations too narrowly. I wouldn't have thought the purpose was restricted to hardware only. If it was something general like "to help the Wikimedia projects" or whatever, then certainly helping our fellow IRC network falls under it because it helps Wikimedians and therefore indirectly helps Wikimedia.
