MSDN code samples distribution and license

Question

Hi,
 
The company I work at was recently subjected to a source code audit, which was fine however a few minor things were flashed up where the license was not clear primarilly with code based on published articles from various technical sites.

I was planning on replacing our splash screen class with a class published in MSDN magazine however my peers won't let me do this as they say they cannot find a license anywhere that states we are allowed to reuse and distribute this in binary form.

Can someone please clarify this and point me at the necessary license information text.

Thanks

Hi, I work for MSDN Magazine.

Can you send me a link to the article where you found the code?
