"Subsidized," "free to use," and "community-funded" are all vast improvements over "cost-free," for describing open scholarly infrastructure. but I wonder if we need to get the word "equitable" in there?

So back to the question- how should we describe scholarly infrastructure that is affordable to all and where the costs associated with participating in and running it are distributed fairly? Maybe we need to use the word "equitable" in addition to "open?" "POESI?"
