I would say: Bullshit...
Docs are "not" interesting for the MOST customers and not everybody who
reads the DOC is/or will become a Customer...

So providing them via Torrent, anonymous FTP or HTTP WITHOUT Registration
is possible for technical documentation.

Otherwise most universities in the US shouldn`t provide ANY documentation
(f.e. for any science project) either because they would have to care that
the peoples who read it are "customers" (so, students..).

I think you don`t understand the law you`ve mentioned correctly *my oppinion*

Anyway.. I hope Theo will write a little statement if that policy is
accaptable or not. Because such stuff influence my [hardware] decissions
directly..

Kind regards,
Sebastian
