  I suppose I would have to call it a "subsidy", realistically, but then 
state that I see nothing wrong with it.
  After all, it's no different from the way that the publishers of 
history textbooks are =subsidized= by GOVERNMENTS who **require** the 
teaching of history in PUBLIC SCHOOLS.  **HORRORS!**
