But the fact remains that, legally, if we are to consider the elements in Faction Paradox to be the same as the equivalent elements in the DWU, then they do not have all the relevant copyrights. Everything they borrowed, they gave new names, to make sure they're their own property, their own independent universe at least from a legal standpoint, even if narratively, the intention is for them to fit into the DWU--if we try to consider them DWU, they fail rule 2. But by that logic, Bernice Summerfield New Adventures must be thrown out. because they didn't legally have the rights to directly refer to Time Lords or the Doctor.
