For the record, I do not believe that tweetalongs themselvesare officially licensed; this has been shown to not be the case, and anyway, I don't exactly know what they'd need a license for.

I do, however, believe that the phrase, e.g., "Lockdown!’s Listen tweetalong", refers to the whole event involving the hashtag #FearIsASuperpower and the people advertised in advance as taking part in the tweetalong. It is not limited to the specific fifty-minute period during which people were supposed to watch the TV story in sync, but rather also includes the tweets immediately before and after, and any and all bonus material released as part of the hashtag to tie in with that tweetalong.

Strax Saves the Day, for example, was part of "the Day of the Doctor tweetalong", even if it may not have been released during the exact time the special was being tweeted along with.

And further, based on the quote from Cook about Chris Chibnall overseeing all these Lockdown! stories, I believe that all the Lockdown!-original stories are authorised by the BBC.

Ergo, if a story is part of "the tweetalong" (meaning the event, as handled by the people officially in charge of it: Emily Cook + whoever she invited to participate in one), then it is part of Lockdown!; and if it is part of Lockdown!, then it is licensed.
