How they should survive? e.g. by 20 governments realizing that the friction this bullshit adds is costing their country more than 1 million, and each contributing 1M of tax money. Or begging for donations. Maybe Wikimedia Foundation would be willing to chip in? You aren't going to pay $100 per standard to access it. Would you pay $1/year for unlimited access to all ISO standards? So maybe the government should charge you $0.02 more in taxes for this, plus another $0.98 for 49 other things that you don't care about, and make this a public good.
