It's not a grey area at all, though. One, Fuzzy Nation was in the public domain. Two, Scalzi sought and obtained permission from the people who held the rights to the author's estate before publishing it. I can get why that bugs you, but does it also bug you that people still publish (and remake for TV and movies) Sherlock Holmes stories? Those are in the public domain as well and most of it wasn't authorized by the estate.

As I explained in a reply to Sarillia, this is a singular and irrational example that does not go towards my general opinion. I failed getting that across to you in my initial reply and meandered towards the general when I should not have. This bullshit quirk of mine pertains specifically to Fuzzy Nation/Little Fuzzy.

It is a 'weird little outlier that bugs me personally for reasons that would be nonsensical in any other context.' I am aware Scalzi got permission from the estate.

IT JUST BUGS ME.

It's not supposed to make sense.
