Listed "regional servers" are all public?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If I do a test run, and it points me at various regional DNS servers, run
by ISPs or transit providers, are these servers officially "public"?

Added to http://code.google.com/p/namebench/wiki/FAQ:

No. Many regional nameservers are only available to their direct or indirect 
customers. 
The ones that do show up on your list are the ones that do allow recursive 
lookups to 
your machine however. Like accessing a web page found on a search engine, it is 
possible that the DNS server was misconfigured to allow public access, and may 
disappear at any time.
