Hi Folks

Please review this link:

As I see it, no one should use code copied from Microsoft directly, unless 
you are explicitly sure it is for private or non-commercial use or a 
permission is specifically granted for the purpose.

And for that matter, no one can be sure if you rewrite code, not to infringe 
patents - as they adhere to principles. Then be sure that the principle 
isn't patented.
