I'm guessing it's more like "There's some hints that it might work so if a doctor wants to try it, we promise we won't say that they're crazy, committing malpractice, or breaking any regulations around off-label use."

This order has nothing to do with any of those issues. Off label use was already allowed.
Except in NY, Michigan, and Nevada, where governors threatened to suspend the licenses of doctors caught using it.
Off label use can have reimbursement issues.
This order has no impact on the drug label or reimbursement policies.
But they already could do that.
