Describe the bug
The git repository contains approximately 35 MB of PDFs, all of which end up embedded in the installers. Looking at the files that are there, many have "v5" in the filename and many look like they are superseded by some "v6" files.

- Is there any value in shipping the v5 PDFs where there is a v6 version?
- Are the remaining v5 PDFs current enough for it to be worth shipping them?
- Are we sure that we have redistribution rights for the Fibre Diffraction Review articles? There is no permission to redistribute given either in the files themselves or on the publication's old website. Without an explicit permission to redistribute, basic copyright rules apply i.e. they cannot be redistributed.
Incidentally, the source for these PDFs should also be somewhere safe - is there a parallel repository where these things are stored, for instance? (No great need to store them in this repo, although where is the source is a fair question to ask - if someone needs to update, improve, reuse these docs they want the original files, not the PDFs!)
SasView version (please complete the following information):
- Version: git main and release-6.1.0 HEAD
Additional context
Happy to make a PR to delete files but knowing which ones to delete is needed!
