I've already (about six months ago) pointed out to MS that the combination
of this clause and WSS is not a happy one.
Several people up a chain said this was (although they didn't use the word)
crazy. But they were unable to get a blanket ruling through that everybody
could post MS documents on their sites - at least none that came back to me.
I suggest people / companies wanting to do this (put MS documents on their
WSS sites) should ask for individual permission.
But quoting small bits of Admin Guides is (ought to be) completely OK.
