No contractor worth his salt would not own a book of the codes he had to follow, and they can certainly afford access to these books.
These rulings are designed to make codes available to the general public? Fine, make it state law that all libraries must have on hand revised copies of all locally pertinant codes within one month of their publication.
A lot of libraries already have the 2002 version and many early editions of the NEC available in reference. No one has to give away a $60 publication.
