Feel free to check with reading app developers (I did). I was told that what Adobe licenses to app developers and ereader makers is the DRM decryption components. They do not provide the rendering engine (which displays text).

The ereader package is called (I believe) Reader Source Development Kit, which is licensed to developers who customise it for their hardware and application specifications. Various versions have been released, but it seems to be difficult to determine which version is used in a particular project.
About the time the first Kobo came out, I was told by one of the developers of Isis that Adobe would only license the DRM decryption engine in combination with the ReaderSDK engine. They came as a unit, obviously unacceptable to the Isis people.
Perhaps Adobe has changed this policy.
