No. The Singularity Institute (ie Luke) considers the document-class to be SIAI intellectual property. We have invested many hours making the pdf output high quality, standards conforming and distinctive. The template is hosted securely and will only be distributed to those producing papers for publication by SIAI.
Is the purpose behind this decision to prevent others from putting out fake SIAI papers, to deny the benefit of SIAI's effort to potential competitors, or something else?
Don't know. I'm just a minion! I can only speculate based on what reasoning I would use in Luke's place.
It's analogous to not handing out your letterhead in the days before copiers.
When your letterhead is awesome! ;)
