Yes, it's caused no end of grief for Sun customers.

No, if you mean copyright-wise.  They're not even freely distributable
according to their copyright notice.  There is a free licence on the
wiki docs that Hung-Sheng Tsao suggested, and they're more up-to-date,
but I don't know if they have all the material from the old manuals.  I
think you can get PDFs of the whole things, though they're not so
satisfactory, and the way to do it is rather buried somewhere on the
site.
