Both.
Actually, opposed is probably too strong of a word here. I'm
disinclined, but there isn't really a better option. Currently, people
usually just cite the website, for whatever that's worth.

Or at least look into this more carefully. Some of CiSE's papers are
open access, I (naively) thought ours wouldn't be hard to get to
either. It is a nice paper though and I think it'll hit a nice
audience (who primarily won't even be aware that they're paying
through it indirectly through university overhead and monolithic
library subscriptions).
