Now, is there anything WMF can do to advocate free content? Is that political or entirely in accordance with our goals?
I would say everything WMF does is advocating free content. You can advocate something through actions, rather than words - often works better, too.
the area in question however is based aorund original research which we don't deal with much.
This more falls under the open acess movement

And are dealings with them are sadly limited.
Again, through their actions - use free content.
Can't use free content if it doesn't exist and in this case it does not. Mind you in the short term I feel that that article is as effetive as anything we could create.
