As for the rule 4 issue, it's not saying that the comics were owned or made by the creators, but it's the emphasis, it's how they were presented to people. Instead of "look at new Doctor Who stories made with this", it's "the writers used this tool, now you get to use it". Perhaps you don't get this emphasis from the statement, I don't deny that there's going to be some ambiguity in this type of wording. But the issue at hand is one of how the only description of these comics is thrusting the responsibility onto the writers, not the BBC.
