The guy is a space cadet.

Why would Microsoft have licensed the photograph from him?

Heck, Bill could have grabbed one of the cool digital cameras he had lying around and snapped one himself.

They would have never agreed to any per license fee, they would have simply used a different picture.

A very juvenile premise here.
Microsoft and Gates were always barracudas.

Let's see... at 1c royalty per copy,

Yowza!

Yeah, what about the woman who designed the Nike ‘Swoosh’ logo back in the day for $35.
