I have read the posts below and looked at the sites referenced. Basically,
you can use clip art and templates for non-commercial use. You may not use
it for any product that is sold (books, etc.) or for business advertising
(like cards).
I could not find any clear way to get permission for commercial use.
The following is taken from Microsoft documents:
15. Materials that Microsoft Licenses To You
Media Elements and Templates. You may have access to media images, clip art,
animations, sounds, music, shapes, video clips, and templates associated with
the service. If so, you may copy and use these images, clip art, animations,
sounds, music, shapes, video clips, and templates identified for such use in
documents and projects that you create. You may distribute those documents
and projects non-commercially. If you wish to use these media elements or
templates for any other purpose, go to www.microsoft.com/permission to learn
whether that use is allowed.
Clip Art
The Microsoft Clip Art Gallery provides a compilation of artwork for your
personal use. Microsoft licenses some of the artwork from third parties and
therefore cannot grant permission for you to redistribute the artwork. For
more information on the terms of use, refer to the End User License Agreement
(EULA) that accompanied the product from which you obtained the clip art. If
you obtained the artwork from Office Online, you can find the EULA at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX100667421033.aspx.
Many other product EULAs are available at
http://www.microsoft.com/legal/useterms/.
The following guidelines apply to the use of clip art:
1. You may use clip art in your school assignments and projects.
2. You may use clip art in your church brochure.
3. You may use clip art for personal, noncommercial uses.
4. You may not use clip art to advertise your business.
5. You may not use clip art to create a company logo.
6. You may not use clip art to illustrate the chapters of a book.
