Well, I'm not a lawyer either :-)  What I meant was, we have
permission to put these papers up on our website, but the
content is not under an open source license in any way.  So
my understanding is, we're fine to have them on our website.
Question is, is it ok from an Apache viewpoint to have this
kind of content in our SVN?  It's not source code, so the
usual licensing policy does not seem immediately applicable.
Did I make myself clear this time?

Thanks,
Thilo
