I don't agree. Smith seems to be confusing are your stories parody? with are your stories canon? Hence her comment about Ellerby's strips. Canon and previous continuity (such as a talking Weeping Angel - incidentally, something we have seen with Angel Bob) are, of course, non-relevant to whether something is valid or not.
Furthermore, why should Smith's backups have any different licensing guidelines than Ellerby's or Bell's? If Smith was crossing the line with her stories, it stands to reason she and/or her editor, Andrew James, would have been forced to redo the strips since the warning against parody was in place since the beginning.
