MSDN license

There is some code I would like to to use that is listed here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365200%28VS.85%29.aspx


How can I find the licensing terms for this code? Basically I need to
know, is it free (libre) or does Microsoft expect a licensing fee if
you use it?

I do not know the exact licensing terms of MSDN example code, but the
bigger question is would you actually use this in production code
without modification? If yes, I'd say it is a bad decision, if no, you are
not really copying it, you are just using it as a guide - which I believe
is what it is for.

When working with files on big NTFS volumes with deep nested folder
structures, look out for the MAX_PATH limitation; to avoid this, you
need to use the Unicode version of the API.
