I just noticed this:

Considering some of the odd groupings (eg DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION
AND OSBORNE DOCUMENTS), it seems like this person is perhaps not putting
a lot of effort into this or isn't knowledgeable. And if they aren't
either of those, what are the odds they'd bother collecting and scanning
these materials?
On the one hand you can argue: they are just offering a service for
people who can't download large volumes of documents. On the other
hand, all of us are skating on some thin ice by scanning copyrighted
material in the hopes that nobody really cares. It seems like a bad
precedent for someone to be selling them for profit.
