Yes, of course. Please do.

I believe stating "All rights reserved." after a copyright notice is 
standard practice. IANAL, but I think copyright merely prevents people 
from distributing a document without prior permission. You are still 
allowed to cite the document, quote from it and comment on it. Am I 
mistaken?
