This is not an ethical question. It is a legal question. Ethics deals with professional conduct over and above what is required by law. Copyright is a matter of law, not ethics. In this particular case, however, it is also a matter of contracts.

Ideally, you should negotiate for an ongoing window into their docs process so that you always get the latest content from them to include in your docs.
