And they're free to do a lot with your address if you read the terms of service.

The 10Mb is true, but not unlimited traffic. If you check the main posting, you'll see I have about 1.7 Gb of space used for Sneezy, with 1 Gb of information being transmitted daily. No "free" site will allow you to do that. They won't let you put your own search engine up. Very few of the "free" sites will let you do much of anything, really. That is why both the Online Clarinet Resource & the Woodwind Fingering Guide are on Sneezy - both were kicked out of "free" sites when they got too popular.

Not probably a more ambitious project - it is a more ambitious ongoing project. I don't believe there is a larger single-instrument site in existence, commercial or otherwise.

Whether or not anyone wants to donate is, of course, up to them.
But nothing is ever free.
