read the licenses



Below is the MS license on the glossaries they offer on:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/msdn/newup/glossary/

Due to this license, please try to avoid using it. After we have a
satisfactory glossary of our own, it will never have to go through such
restrictions, which effectively hinder our development.

for distribution.

MICROSOFT CORPORATION PROVIDES THE GLOSSARY TERMS AND INFORMATION CONTAINED IN
THESE DOCUMENTS ON AN "AS IS" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY. 
Microsoft Corporation DOES NOT represent, guarantee, or warrant that: (1) the
glossary terms and other information contained in these documents are
non-infringing and freely available for use; nor (2) that the glossary terms,
the glossaries themselves, and other information contained in these documents
are completely accurate and current.

The purpose of the glossaries is to provide international terminology, not
English. These glossaries may contain Microsoft terminology for both
applications and systems. In an effort to standardize this terminology, the
glossaries are being released.

Note that the English terminology is a byproduct of Microsoft's international
glossaries and that Microsoft cannot guarantee the quality of this product.
The subscriber may use individual terms, 
but may not reproduce the compiled glossaries for resale.

In rare cases Microsoft publishes a glossary before its associated product,
usually an operating systems product, is released. This is done as a service
and out of courtesy to the international development and localization
community. Please note that the terminology in such glossaries is not final
and may not have gone through any internal review cycles. Such glossaries may
not include all fields outlined under A)Format.
