It's easy to decide where you stand (at least for me it is) on the question of whether access should be free. It's less obvious what is the correct way to implement that. It would be perfectly reasonable for the state to just pay the standards body a fee for, essentially, help in writing the law. Legislatures already pay lawyers to formulate the legalese of regular laws, so paying for such a service would hardly be weird or out of place.
