The only part I am worried about is the above sentence. The rest
looks okay.
This would seem to require any CD-makers to send the author a free
copy if their company policy does not explicitly forbid it. That
would put CD-makers in some amount of risk if they forget to send the
"complementary" CD, thus it is non-free.
If the statement was intended to only mean "if you want to do it",
it's free, but the statement needs to be clarified.
