And where does the money come from?

  Money comes from the same place it always did: funders (usually the public purse). The difference is in the OA model the cost of publishing is included in grants, rather than through libraries and other routes.

  Instead of having each university pay millions each year to subscribe to privately owned journals, we use (a part of) this money to develop and maintain the necessary infrastructures (servers, software developers, librarians, …). The rest of the money could be used for additional research.

  How much money does it really take to run a web-assessable open-access journal? It could very well be funded on charity.
