Um, by asking Microsoft? Seems like they're the only ones who can say.
The above strongly suggests to me that any use would need to be approved
by them. I've been meaning to ask them about SCC (the API used by visual
studio for version control) anyways.
I know of at least one sympathetic ear inside there. I'll ask him and see
what he thinks. He will be at OSCON next week, if there's a desire for a
meeting.

That¹s actually a question:

mapi1book_legal_information_2.asp
"

other intellectual property rights covering subject matter in this document.
Except as expressly provided in any written license agreement from
Microsoft, the furnishing of this document does not give you any license to

Board,
How can we go about seeing if the TNEF contribution is possible? (read
below). Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Done.
The only sources I used were the publicly available documentation at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/mapi/html/_mapi1book_transport_neutral_encapsulation_format_tnef_.asp
and actual mail messages, and no other source of any kind. I'm not aware of
any restrictions on this information.
