This is an interesting point and I'll raise it at work: should the sponsor of an article be formally noted, along with the particulars of it's peer review, license, etc? Also, a shameless plug: http://www.ubiquitypress.com/publish http://www.ubiquitypress.com/publish because OA isn't an expensive proposition, it just depends how it is handled and by whom.
