This is probably the avenue to shut this down. If finding is contingent on making the publication freely available to download, and that comes from a major government funding source, then this whole scan could die essentially overnight.
That would need to somehow get enough political support to pass muster in the first place and pass the inevitable legal challenge that follows, too. So, really, this is just another example of regulatory capture ruining everything.
