MICOSOFT GIF FILES: patent issue
 

I have developed a program which makes use of a fair number of WINDOWS
gif files, some lifted "as is" and others "re-morphed" to suit. I now
intend to propagate the program in an education setting but the scheme
sails somewhat too close to the commercial. I have read the END USER
LICENCE AGREEMENT governing the use of Microsoft softwares but failed
to get the definitive answer in all of the legal trammels
spelt out. Can someone kindly fill me, if advisorily.

David

This is a peer to peer exchange. Just users helping users.

I don't know how many lawyers we have that post in this forum, but you may want
to get your legal advice from a different source.

MICOSOFT GIF FILES: patent issue
 

David,
For legal advice, Dave has already said.
If you are worried, then don't use them. There are thousands of free
examples available or do your own from scratch.
Or use the gifs available on the user's computer.
If it is a gif, it cannot be vital to the functioning of your app.
