TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
As far as using someone else's icons in an application, book, online
help, etc., I have a question: We would like to use the Text and Binary
icons that distinguish Value Data in the Windows 95 and NT Registry
editors, RegEdit and RegEdit32 in our application, but don't know if
they are copyrighted or not. Does anybody know the rules on this? Where
to go to ask? etc...
I know that we couldn't use someone else's Application Icons-Microsoft
Word's W icon, for example-but for icons that represent a standard
Windows data type (text and binary), which I have seen used in various
software, I'm not sure.
