Have you ever gained commercial rights for logos, audio or likeness of another product??? No one wants to think about those things, and they shouldn't have to...You need commercial rights to use any model, audio, texture, phrase or likeness of KingsField to start selling it, no one has those commercial rights.
If your product is noncommercial you still require licensing rights because you are A) using someone else's trademark in a non fair-use way, and B) you're taking part of that publishers market share. Why would people buy KF games, when there are free alternatives, as an example. That is the logic and precedent anyway, whether it suits you or not.
People who use, enjoy, and develop free software/art, and generally skirt the edge of what is or isn't commercially acceptable

You cannot demand respect from people because you think you have power...so your saying I cannot express my opinion or else you will take some sort of 'action' ??? Who's the real bully.
Bullying is not up to interpretation. If you're intentions are to defend someone however necessary or not, being offensive to others does not amount to defense, whether you perceive said others to be actually offensive or not. No one here is required to not bum you or anyone out.
