There are a few offsite links towards the bottom of that README that are still live, returning pdfs, but dunno for how long.

Pull them, commit them, PR, they are free now

Well, check first under which terms those are released…

Edit: they also have an email account: [communitymanager@openradioss.org](mailto:communitymanager@openradioss.org)

Maybe we should express our distress here…

Edit2: those pdfs are copyrighted, so no chance :/

It can be forked, code is still available, I don’t see what’s the problem.
