Since the text (but not the apparatus) of the UBS3/N26 is identical to
that of the UBS4/N27, the same objections would be made to its
dissemination.  The facts are plain: most of those who are in it for the
money are proprietary to the core, and require absolute control over
anything they produce, even if it is 99.44% public domain material.  It is
not likely that such people will ever release anything for free and open
scholarly use.
