The document was not published. It was provided as part of a purchase
of the equipment (software) it described. That makes it proprietary.
Call the company and ask them to send you a copy. Tell them you don't
won the woftware, but you just want to read it. See what they say.
In some cases they may sell it to you. If so the copy you took was
stealing. It is not rocket science, bt it is copywritght law. And
your work was 'work for hire' under that law.
