AS PJ (groklaw) says IANAL, but since the document is posted on a
publicly viewable web site, as part of a court record, I would presume
that status is no longer MS "Highly Confidential". It might not be
public domain, but I would think you would be safe in quoting short
extracts of it, under a "fair use"/"for review" purposes.
It is of major interest to me as, Eric Raymond (esr) never published the
original documents, only edited versions with his comments. I've read
elsewhere that he did this to avoid infringing the authors rights
(copyright?), what ever they may have been.
