Currently when I send out pdf files on CDs I use one of two formats, one with the Reader installer exe files on it, and the other designed to view the files using Reader right off the CD.  With the full version CD I usually link from my index.pdf file to the MiniReader.pdf file found under /Acrobat 5.0/Help/ENU so that users not comfortable using Reader have a small tutorial file to refernce in case they have problems.  On the CDs that only have the installer I do not package anything for tutorial purposes.  I was thinking about putting the MiniReader.pdf file on all the CDs I create but after reading the "Legal Notices" section of the file not I'm not sure if I'm legally allowed to do so.  The part of the license that I'm questioning is as follows: 

"Except as permitted by such license, no part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, recording, or otherwise, without the prior written permission of Adobe Systems Incorporated." 

Since I am registered to distribute Reader on CDs does that mean I am also allowed to distribute the MiniReader file, or do I have to register somewhere else for that? 

Thanks!
