“Professor” Michael Mann has put the same sort of restrictions on access to his original data.

Item number two on the three-point list stop p-hacking:

Open data sharing: Increasingly, scientists are calling on their colleagues to make all the data from their experiments available for anyone to scrutinize (there are exceptions, of course, for particularly sensitive information). This ensures that shoddy research that makes it through peer review can still be double-checked.

When I was an undergrad RA in the 1980s I know that it used to be the case that if your research paper had received NSF or NIH funding that you were obligated to make your raw data available to anyone upon request if they paid you for the cost of making the copies and the postage. But in the 1990s they quietly changed the rules to drop that requirement so now everybody hoards their data.
