No, it's not true. They have given permission to reproduce certain software
documentation, but they have not put *any* of it into the public domain.
There's a big difference.

Here's some info I found in John Wilson's FTP archive, excerpted from
the file

Note that it is restricted to Digtal's customers. I wonder how lawyers
interpret that.
