I think that if you author a document from publicly available information,
you can put it under any license you'd like.  Although I'm not a lawyer...

If you take the design documents (which are still incorrectly marked
"confidential") and cut and paste from them, then that probably
raises different issues.  Although I am not a lawyer.  :)
