Annals of the History of Computing: "bitsavers" is referenced

Journal issue: 2008, Volume 30, Issue 3

Article: "The Genesis of the Tenet 210: An Early Time-Sharing System"

(page 81, specifically)

Reference: http://bitsavers.org/pdf/tenet

There's no citation/footnote mentioning the supplier of said link/resource.

Admittedly, 'tis nice that such a reputable publication (IMHO)
references this valuable resource, but would it not be appropriate to
notate the source of the author's material (of which I found none)?

Or would this bring unwanted attention to the potential copyright
issue(s) of the material in question -- which I recall being brought
up in an eBay thread of similar nature a week or so back (and what
spurred me to comment on this)?

While this journal may not have a [relatively] huge circulation (I
think - just a guess), it could prove taxing to the bandwidth
resources from the host referenced.

(This message could prove moot if the provider of the resource was,
indeed, contacted by the author before publication of the article.)
