Legal Image Question

Is it illegal to use an image from SQLServer 2005 in a program of mine?

Do you mean an actual picture? That has nothing to do with the fact
that you got it from SQL server. Rather, you have to find who owns the
rights to the original image/work/photo and then find out if it is ok.

Hope this helps.

which images ? images you have stored in sql server ?

there is nothing wrong in storing images in sql server and using it. But
it will be illegal if those images does not belong to you and owns by somebody
else.

I'm assuming you mean the Logo for SQL server ?

If so, then Yes I would say it's illegal without "Express Written
Permission"

I would say that it depends on whether your app is competing with SQL
Server,
or making it a better choice for users. If your app is going to help SQL
Server
sales, then I doubt MS would complain to loudly if you borrowed something.
If
on the other hand it's competing with SQL Server, they will probably get
very upset.
Of course, if they don't actually own the image, but have permission to use
it from
the copyright holder, then you will have definitely have to talk to the
copyright holder
also.

Well, its a scripting program for SQL server basically it writes C# and
t-sql code for you.
I liked the image of a DB with the paper in front of it. I guess I'll
just make my own but I didn't know if it was a problem if it was used.
I guess I should do my own I just wanted to identify my program w/ SQL
server since that's the only DB it works with.
