From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

She says it was "an umbrella term for [tweetalongs matching a specific definition]". That is the part I was referring to.

As for your first paragraph, I think we just have a fundamental disagreement on what the English phrase "having something to do with X" means. In my book, Doctor Who fanfic obviously has something to do with the Doctor Who brand. Of course it does. That doesn't mean the "something" is "a commercial license" — but it has something to do with the Doctor Who brand. Saying a Doctor Who fanfilm had nothing to do with the Doctor Who brand would, per my understanding of the English language, imply that the presence in the fafilm of a character called "the Doctor", travelling in something called "the TARDIS", was a complete coincidence — that there existed no causal connection between Doctor Who and the fanfilm.

If you define "having something to do with X" as meaning "having an official, legal connection with X", then I see the root of our disagreement but I can only recommend you buy a dictionary.
