[sldev] Rolling a custom viewer installer?

I'd like to be able to distribute a test version of the viewer with my
changes to implement Mute Visibility applied. Because the patch involves
some UI-related XML changes as well as code changes, it's much easier to
distribute it as an installer, rather than a zip file with a bunch of files
that need to be copied / overwritten. It also makes it very easy for people
to go back to the official viewer if they run into problems.
To this end, I've modified the NSIS installer files and the related Python
scripts, and I've gotten the "secondlife setup build.bat" script to
successfully create an installable self-extracting setup. I've rebranded the
setup similarly to how a First Look client is branded, so that it is
installable side-by-side with the official viewer and doesn't overwrite any
existing settings. I've also clearly indicated in the release notes that
appear the start of installation that this is not an official viewer
release, and they should contact me, not Linden Lab, if they run into
problems with it.
Am I allowed to distribute this installer for other people to use?
Thanks,
--Able
