Yes, please do.  I'd like a bit more information so I could mention your
product on our "Where is NetCDF Used?" web page at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/usage.html where we mention
other untraditional uses such as chromatography and medical image
files.  Please send the brochure to:

  Russ Rew
  UCAR/Unidata
  P.O. Box 3000
  Boulder, CO 80307-3000

Also, if you have a web site describing your product, I would be happy
to add a link to it from the above web page.

The one on the web site at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/copyright.html
is sufficient.

There is no need to include a copy in the manual, if you include a copy in
the folder for such notices.

> Is there anything else we need to do?

No, but thanks for asking and for using netCDF.
