They do, but you need to be authorized by Sipura and given a login and 
password to get it.  I was just approved yesterday and am awaiting the 
login information.  It gives you access the the 145 page PDF's, the 
Sipura Profile Compiler, and the GenMC tool that allows you to setup 
certs for SRTP calls between devices.

My take on the whole situation is that they just don't want people who 
don't know what they are doing to be given the "option" of destroying 
their SPA's or flooding Sipura with \stupid\ requests on how to use the 
command line programs, etc.  I can just imagine the people that can't 
figure out the web GUI on the SPA's try to edit ASCII config files with 
variable substitution and run it all through a command-line app that 
requires knowledge of public-key cryptography and other fun stuff.  If 
everyone that bought a Sipura had access to these tools, Sipura would be 
flooded with calls with questions like "How do I get to a command prompt 
in my Windows XP", etc.

The "User" guides on the public area of Sipura are really quite good.
