I do respect others copyrights. I was playing devils advocate. I think
people get silly about copyrights, especially MS's. The best thing to
do is ask a lawyer.
Looking at the MS code is a whole different ball game then actually
_using_ that code. You would have to be an idiot to use MS's code
without proper permission. They can unleash a legal nightmare on anyone
that would try to steal their code.
