It's not what I would call proprietary.  USENIX and SAGE are charging 
money for the booklet, in large part to help recover production and 
publishing costs.

I would like to see them allow a reduced fee for buying a copy 
online, so that you can choose whether or not you want to print out a 
copy for yourself, but still giving them some reasonable protection 
against loss of revenue due to the material being freely available in 
an electronic form.

However, one of the benefits of being a SAGE member is that you can 
download copies of all of the SAGE "Short Topics" booklets for free. 
So, if there's enough booklets you're interested in, then becoming a 
member of SAGE would be effectively free.
