I'm certain in many cases it isn't.  Since many OPs dont'e ven know about 
RADB, and RADB charges for ability to register and update.  How much? 
$250/yr.  That's buried on their 'about' page.  Why?  I don't know, 
terrible site design though.  Who goes into an 'about' page looking for 
billing information or fee schedules or price lists.
