>I am thinking about selling some products with VFP7 or VB.NET printed on them. These "words" aren't copyrighted by MS. Does anyone know Microsoft's opinion on such things? Anyone have a contact at Microsoft that could give me an answer about this?

I'd suggest contacting Robert (as in Green) or perhaps David Lazar. Back when I was working on the Foxtools help file, I had some questions regarding how much of the existing documentation I could incorporate. They were the people I contacted.
