It is possible to publish a visio chart to a commercial website

[Wolfgang Uhr]

Hello

Sorry but here the eula still have an information leakage.

I've a licence of Visio and I have created some drawings. Up to now,
they are included in an word-document only. Now I want to put this
drawings to my website (a commercial one). I’m selling software. Is that
possible or not?

Thanks for your help
Best regards
Wolfgang Uhr

If your viewers don't have Visio, then you can compose a web page that
prompts them to download the free Visio Viewer from Microsoft.
Alternatively, you can use Save As Web

Hello

I do not speak about a visio document. I speak about a jpg-docoument
transformed from it.

It contains some shapes from visio.

I think you'll find that any graphical output from Visio (gif, jpeg
etc) becomes your own work and not subject to any Visio licensing.

Jpeg might not be the best format in which to publish a Visio doagram
as jpeg was designed for photographs. Try GIF or PNG or one of the
vector graphics formats instead.

The Eula from Microsoft denies the usage of those icons on an commercial
website.

The problem is not the format. The problem is that I'm not allowed to
use those icons.

It's german but it means, that I have to redraw all my documents with a
different program?

It isn't the output from Visio that cannot be used commercially, I
think the words above apply only to certain images from the clip art.
Where did the images come from, Powerpoint?

The images are a part of visio-enterprise. This are the shapes "Computer
und Monitore" for example.

I'm surprised that nobody else has jumped in here to help.

For a product that is to used by an enterprise (pretty much by
definition a commercial entity) that is based upon the use of shapes
and has a publish to web page facility, to have a number of those
shapes not useable in a manner required by an enterprise seems against
normal logic.

You are right. But it would be a good idea if your eula tells this too.
