Cindy, I don't think that you would need permission to use the pictures that are included in the Family History Suite cd as long as you give credit to their source. This constitutes fair use. You are only taking what belongs to one family (yours) and it is by far less that 10% of the book. Making copies for research purposes is perfectly legal. I could be wrong ;) but I think that even if you were to use those same pictures in your own compiled genealogies for family members, as long as credit is given, then you have complied to the legalities of the law. Quite a few of the pictures that my hubby has of his line are represented on the cd. However, we have gotten copies of those pictures from other sources (cousins, the original photographers, etc.,) and don't feel that we owe company that made the cd credit for the same picture.
