HDB/BNU documentation

I'm most unsure whether or not this is the right group for this, uucp
discussions seem to abound in many groups.  Please point me to the right
spot if this isn't it.

One of the frustrating things about HoneyDanBer uucp, for me, is the very
poor documentation available for it.  I had it with the PC 6300 PLUS and
I have it with AT&T 386 UNIX, but in no case was the documentation clear
enough to pound through my thick skull.  I have come by a rather complete
package of documentation, I forget where I got it (honest!), but I don't
know if it's legal to contribute it to the net, much less where to post it
if it is legal.  There are no copyright notices and there is no source
code in it, just man pages and installation discussion.  There is, for
example, one of the clearest discussions of the Permissions file I have
seen anywhere.

So here are my questions -  Would it be legal for me to post this doc
package?  If so, what is the appropriate newsgroup?  Finally, is anyone
interested in seeing it?  I have pushed it all through troff and JetRoff
and run it off on an HP Laser Jet and it's easy to read and pleasing to the
eye.  It should be as useful through nroff.  I have mailed it (in all
innocence) to several sites, but it would be more efficient if it was sent
via netnews.  If I'm not supposed to have it, I would appreciate an
explanation of why I shouldn't, since I have several binary licenses for HDB,
just no helpful documentation.  Thanks for the enlightenment, and excuse the
wrong group if I did that.
