As long as the 'venture' is not in the black (and I can't believe that's already the case, given the amount of time and money sunk in the previous issues) I can't see a problem.
But if it were to ever make serious money I would assume that the people that put the magazine together would go for a revenue share model with their authors.
I knew that it was going to be a 'for pay' issue because there was a HN thread on it here but I can see how that would take you aback if you didn't realize it.
Still, it's not as if this issue is all of a sudden making the project huge money, more likely is that it will go a little bit towards reducing the start-up costs.
