Legally, I think that you need a location & date where the contract was
executed, as well as the addresses of the parties of the contract.
I personally encourage vendors to distribute individual files or parts of
files. I consider this free advertising. My policy is: Copy and distribute
whatever you want, all I require is that you include my copyright.
