Hello Tobias, I think your situation is quite clear. The clause Microsoft or subsidiary focuses on the access to Microsoft source code or internal technology/research information. (David described that in more detail already.) As far as I know the Certified Partners are a kind of distributors classification only - it's for sales only and you'll not get in touch with any Microsoft internals. Partners are neither part of Microsoft nor subsidiaries. Having said this your contribution based on the facts you gave are safe.
