Regardless of whether that is Amorkuz's argument, or if that's even a standard that stories need to meet to be considered valid -- I don't think I see it in the four little rules anywhere -- we do not at this time know at all if Arcbeatle Press/Mr Wylder ran either the intended use of the licensed elements of the stories or the finished stories themselves past their respective rightsholders. It is perfectly possible that this happened. It is perfectly possible that it is not.

(Certainly, as an aside, if somebody asked to use one of my own characters with the intent of producing a crossover between their work and my own, I'd definitely set down some basic rules -- i.e., don't be too specific about the Space War, don't reference any past romantic relationships, that kind of thing, and if in writing you find yourself breaking those rules, run it past me.)
