I don't see it that way at all. This isn't some scenario where a random unlicensed spin-off series has a story about Daleks-with-the-names-filed-off: ''The Eyeless'' bears the Doctor Who logo. Like all New Series Adventures, it was run past Cardiff for approval – approval by the Doctor Who production office itself, people directly answerable to the showrunner. Unless you can find me legal material that suggests the copyright for the Moment specifically lies with some showrunner rather than with the BBC itself, I posit that our uninformed speculations about copyright just aren't a concern here, kind of like how it isn't a concern when it comes to the BBC's uses of [[Grace Holloway|Grace]], [[Oa]], or the [[Dalek]]s. | I don't see it that way at all.

Basically, though, it's very simple. If Agatha Christie describes a ruggedly handsome, no-nonsense British secret agent in ''Murder on the Orient Express'', she's not talking about James Bond because ''Casino Royale'' hadn't been written yet.</div>And yet, if she had described a ruggedly handsome, no-nonsense British secret agent with a sha cut into his hand, who was said to have fallen in love after trying to bankrupt a Soviet counterintelligence agency on a gambling trip to Royale-les-Eaux, and also the main character of ''Murder on the Orient Express'' was a CIA agent named Felix Leiter … well, I think you would’ve picked a different example :) | Basically, though, it's very simple.
