Microsoft clipart

Dear all,
Is it ok to use Microsoft clipart in worksheets we upload here? Since the work is in .doc form, I suppose we assume that all users have access to licensed Microsoft software. Is it breaking the site �s copyright rules to use Microsoft �s images? Thank you. |

Hi! I think you can use any cliparts you want, as long as they are not watermarked.
Have a nice weekend! :) |

It is not OK to use Microsoft clip art if the clip art is the main part of the document, so you cannot use the clip art in a pictionary, for example, or other worksheet in which the clip art is a major part of the document..
It is my understanding that it is not OK to use Microsoft clip art here because we are posting our worksheets to a web site, which is the same thing as distributing them. Microsoft clip art is licensed for non-profit personal use such as educational use in the classroom for students to do homework, but not for anyone to post online.

Thanks for all the links. It seems, based on what they say, that clipart as illustration is ok (so just to jazz up a text-based sheet) but not clipart on a mainly image-based sheet (e.g. match the pictures to the words). I am willing to stand corrected if necessary!
