Copyright in Clip Art for Free Educational Resources

[louise]

Hello

I have read the ENUS but would like some clarification about our intended
use. Please do not refer me to yet another ENUS that does not answer this
question, I have been reading through all of the posts and think it's a bit
unclear (perhaps because I am not a lawyer?).

We would like to incorporate MS clip art in educational resources which will
then be distributed to many schools (e.g. a image of a frog to brighten up a
maths worksheet). The resources will all be provided to schools free of
charge but on a very large scale.

Is this permissible?

Many thanks in advance

Sorry, but all we can do is refer you to
Microsoft guidelines because we are
not lawyers either.
