AFAIK, Passport EULA make documents ORIGINATING FROM a service using
Passport have the double licence (the original one and the Microsoft
one). there was a lot of talks about it on slashdot...
I don't know if the EULA is still the same or has been chanced to
something more sane, but ownership can only be granted if someone using
hotmail SENDS something (quotes/full messages, his own messages,...)
But again, curent EULA has to be checked to see if they did not
backpedal !!!
