That is almost certainly a pirated copy of K&R2, uploaded by an
individual at the institution who either did not know or did not care
that it's a copyright violation.  (Let's not have an argument about
whether "pirated" is the appropriate word, please.)

My paper copy of that book has a copyright notice just before the table
of contents.  It was omitted from the PDF, I presume deliberately.

If Bell Labs or Prentice Hall had ever given permission for K&R2 to be
freely published, I'm sure someone here would have heard about it.

Legitimate copies of K&R2 are available from various vendors, as are
used copies of K&R1 for those who are interested in the historical
context.
