[Lingtyp] Ethnologue goes for paid access?

[Hedvig Skirgård]

In an attempt to link back to SIL and Ethnologue (from another topic that I
initiated, I do realise): is the core issue that we are worried with here
that SIL International are making their research less accessible (funding
sources and faith being irrelevant), and is this in fact also true of
private universities in the US?
