Technically, Adobe can't unilaterally impose license restrictions on
you; if you don't actually *use* their software, they can't stop you
from writing an installer for it.  Not that I'm recommending that you
*do* this; I don't think we should be encouraging people to use such
abhorrently non-free software when there exist free alternatives that
are just as good for most applications, and can be readily improved as
deficiencies are found.
