On: Google to Sell Old News Articles

The charge is from the original publisher. FTFA:

What's more, publishers don't have to share the wealth with Google. The search-engine company will receive no payment from publishers' content fees, advertising, or supplying traffic. .... The results initially will be served without Google's customary sponsored links on the right side of the page, and at the outset, Google won't make money directly from the service.

Though the article did quote a Google engineer saying that they may add adwords later on.
