And no, it doesn't matter that the story was written by someone who has otherwise written licensed fiction. Or that the publisher did a nice thing and gave his or her profits to charity. Or that the work was almost published by the BBC." That's the official explanation. From skimming the book, it looks like none of the stories use unlicensed characters.
