Answer:

rewrite the introductory materials yourself

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario your best option would be to rewrite the introductory materials yourself . Without knowing what who wrote that section or what the contractual conditions were you cannot copy that material because you are risking being sued for copyright infringement and potentially losing a lot of money or even the software in some cases.
