We don't know the exact details -- though I'd be interested to learn them -- but as far as we know, the Daleks appeared in the film by full legal permission or licensing from whatever copyright owners would have to get involved.

I think the problem with the quote that you linked to was that the Terry Nation estate was not mentioned and instead the BBC apparently gave them permission. But I do agree that we don't know the full details and the exact wording might have been a mistake on their part.
