Since the manuals have been reproduced for many years without any
problems, I don't think there's any issue there at all. Additionally,
copyrights don't cover the factual data...but rather they cover the
written form, style, etc. Since much or most of the text would be
rewritten in any update, the copyright concern goes away.
