Charity publication

Charity publications are releases which are published for the benefit of non-profit organisations or charities. They are not licensed by the BBC or most of the respective copyright holders, and therefore cannot be considered a legal part of the Doctor Who franchise. Because of this, a community decision was made to not cover these publications in full on this wiki.
