DISCLAIMER: Pure speculation here
I have been thinking along the same lines. I've done some superficial research into what it would take to get a single seat access license to something like Amadeus (or Sabre or Travelport). From a technical perspective it doesn't look too difficult. But I have no idea how the licensing agreements for this kind of access work. Are people effectively prohibited from using their GDS access to publish the data in a way like EF does? And is full and legal access prohibitively expensive?
