May I suggest we drop the 'fairy godmother' terminology. It seems to be
suggesting an impossible dream, as in Cinderella, or alternately is meant to
be pejorative.  I prefer to simply talk about the sponsored payment model,
to be added to the reader-side fee model and the author-side fee model, and
combinations of any of these.

 

Sponsorship covers government subvention, professional society support, loss
leaders, and even the public donation route. 'Fairy godmother' is a bad
description of all of these, as they all expect to get something back, even
if it is not monetary.
