Well, documents are copyrighted just like code, so DMTF would need to
say what license they're releasing the documents under. Creative Commons
licenses are popular for documents and data. Some Creative Commons
licenses are compatible with Apache 2.0 (make sure it isn't one of the
"Non-Commercial" variants).

You're still better off having users download the DMTF files separately.
And, no matter how the users get the files, DMTF needs to release the
files under some form of open content or open data license, so the users
have permission to use the files.
