Hi Florian,
I can assure you that Verisign does not monetize the root server data. If
any other operators do, I'm not aware of it.
We do utilize root server data for research purposes from time-to-time.
Recent examples include the KSK rollover and name collisions. Less recent
examples include understanding TTL/caching behavior and preparing for the
root ZSK size increase. When DDoS attacks happen, we often analyze the
data to see if we can understand how and why it happened, and to be better
prepared for the next one.
