It would be nice if a rich donor could give a large donation to the foundation in exchange for them allowing free distribution of the book.
I imagine the foundation hasn't really considered that they are hindering the distribution of the text. I'd bet that one of the reasons they were founded was to promote exactly that, but in pre-internet days protecting your copyright simply prevented other people from cashing in rather than limiting distribution since p-book pirates would have to sell the book (just like you).
On the other hand, the foundation does good work in education and in legal fights against various holocaust deniers, so I can't begrudge money heading in their direction - its just a shame that it comes at the price of limiting an important work's audience a bit.
