First of all.
I work each day with many datasheets of many manufacturers and know how 
they must look.

I can confirm there is happened a cropping of last pages (or sometimes 
first) with the owner specifications, copyright and other information.

If you want to ascertain in this, you can download the same datasheet 
from part manufacturer site and compare with datasheet from the KiCad tree.

I think no one want to host or download the program and a bunch of 
doubtful and not required information.

This is the reasons to remove datasheets from KiCad tree.
