I think, it is only allowed to use it for your personal use (see 
http://www.microsoft.com/en-
us/legal/intellectualproperty/copyright/default.aspx#O3). And below 
http://www.microsoft.com/en-
us/legal/intellectualproperty/copyright/default.aspx#O10, you will 
find

By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree that when 
using the Communication Services, you will not:
...
* Use any material or information, including images or photographs, 
which are made available through the Services in any manner that 
infringes any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other 
proprietary right of any party.

. There they link to http://www.microsoft.com/en-
us/legal/IntellectualProperty/Permissions/Default.aspx (found at the 
bottom of the page at the link "Terms of use", which links to 
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=4412892 ... ;) ). But I am not a 
lawyer (and my "legal English" is really bad ... :( ), so I might be 
wrong here ... ;)
HTH
