No, I did.  You take a copy of the data sheet and republish it publically.
Take a moment to think about that...

Consider also, from their point of view, the issue of documentation
control.  Notice that most companies don't provide download links for
old documentation...

If there was not a problem here, all documentation would explicitly
state that it is able to be freely distributed.  However, this is not
the case.  Maybe you should read the legal status of documentation from
ARM?  It explicitly states that you are not permitted to redistribute
it... why put that in if you don't mean it?
