Agilent controls all copying and distribution of their manuals. They
will license you if you contact them through the proper channels with
certain stipulations as to what you can and can not distribute copies
of. Just because they offer it for free download on their web site does
NOT mean it is in the public domain. Free sites like KO4BB.com and BAMA
have letters of agreement from Agilent to distribute copies of free
Agilent manuals. Agilent only allows non Agilent sources (such as
ourselves...Artekmedia) to distribute PDF manuals for products that are
officially no longer supported. They had a huge crackdown in about 1995
and have sporadically taken a few "unauthorized" sources to task since then

A simple question to anyone who may know: what are the legalities of
copying HP service manuals? Some of them seem to be in the public
domain, since they are offered on the HP information web site. But
some of these electronic manuals are very low resolution, and
practically unusable for repair purposes. Did each piece of test gear
come with a service manual or did they have to be purchased
separately? Just curious, since the market for used service manuals
commands a premium for the printed materials.
Thanks,
