The link takes you to "The Unofficial CP/M Website" who

1. Are the true source of the material.

2. Made it publicly available in in 2002.

3. Have more versions available, e.g. the canonical 2.2.

4. Most importantly, include a memorial for Tim Olmstead, the man who actually negotiated with DR and then painstakingly digitized the documents.

Shame on you, Neil McAllister, for gobbling up a press release and not bothering to do the most basic research.
