Samsung documentation

Hi everybody,
we are playing with some new hardware, among others using the Samsung
2443 and 6400 CPUs.
One of the things that is really important for Openmoko is open
documentation.
That's the reason we chose 2442 in the past, the documents could be
freely downloaded from Samsung's web site.
We are generally suspicious about that, because companies may choose
to withdraw this at any time.
So what we really prefer is documentation that we can REDISTRIBUTE
from our own servers.
Similar to how Intel is now releasing documentation under a Creative
Commons license. That's the ideal.
Back to Samsung, we were promised several times that they would give
us this redistribution rights permission eventually. It wasn't that
important at the time, because we could point to a URL at samsung.com
Well, like in (almost) every good marriage, things turned out
differently than promised :-)
Samsung recently decided to put the documents on their site behind a
'registration' form that needs a manual 'review' before you can
download their documents.
They are only 1 step away from an NDA.
So what I'm trying to do now is to download documents from their
website, and see under what kind of restrictions I can get them.
What documents do we need?
2443 User Manual
6400 User Manual
they have some new PMU, anybody interested in that?
Please let me know which documents we are looking for...
Thanks,
Wolfgang
