 * Hi! I was wondering if there are some rules that limit the usage of the screenshots
   made to wordpress interfaces or wordpress plugin or theme interfaces… I want 
   to make a tutorial website and I don’t know if I can legitimate use that screenshots…
   as I read there are copyright issues with this kind of screenshots let’s say 
   for Adobe, Microsoft or other programs… they don’t let people modify the images
   or other kind of limits…
 * I also want to know about the screenshots made to wordpress themes… as I read
   it can be a copyright infringement if we use screenshots of other people websites…

 * Then you’ll need to talk to those websites’ owners, that’s not something WordPress.
   org governs.
 * All of the WordPress software and themes & plugins that are distributed on WordPress.
