Maybe you could tell me your suggestions on this.
Microsoft is a company legally obliged to work for the benefit of its shareholders. What possible justification could there be for them to give permission? IANAL, and I really have no idea what the chances are of this sort of thing being a copyright violation, but personally I would probably just go ahead and worry about legal threats if and when they materialise. I definitely wouldn't ask Microsoft first, as that would just make me look guilty if I subsequently ignored their reply and they did decide to sue me. Then again, I wouldn't have raised the question on a publicly archived mailing list, either, for similar reasons. Edmund
