When I receive the requested copy of the BLE paper I'll scan it and publish it
for all to see.

Is the publishing of copyrighted papers on the Web generally permitted
under fair use rules? The IEEE and other publishers of professional
papers charge around $25 for downloaded reprints, and I'd think that
would cut into their income. Or does the IEEE specifically permit
publishing of their papers on the Web?

Unless I'm mistaken, the copyright would have had to been renewed to
remain in effect.

According to this link:

it was not.
