.NET Copyright Issues

General seems the most appropriate place for this question.

I have a tool (for .NET of course) I'm releasing with a product name that
uses the word GDI+ in it, with the subtitle that includes the words
PrintDocument and .NET.

Would I be in violation of a copyright / trademark if I do this?

I wouldn't trust any answer you get from anyone other than msft
directly unless you have a good lawyer. Here's two sites you can try:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/
http://www.microsoft.com/permission/
