Subject:The answer: Microsoft clip art and royalties From:Tracy Boyington <tracy_boyington -at- OKVOTECH -dot- ORG> Date:Thu, 27 May 1999 13:46:58 -0500
Recently (OK, maybe not so recently) I asked if anyone knew whether you
could use the clip art that comes with Microsoft products in a
publication that would be sold. A few people were interested in the
answer, which, as it turns out, is *no* (with the exception of
PowerPoint art used in PowerPoint presentations). This website: http://www.microsoft.com/permission/copyrgt/cop-img.htm
has information on using *any* MS images, including those of Bill Gates
himself.
