You've probably also got the issue that Ady would then be distributing the original published material; Lucasfilm/MPAA might not appreciate that.
I know what you're getting at, but do you think color correcting and adding/fixing stuff at home makes it not the original published material? He doesn't own them. They could shut him down any time they felt like it. (what would someone say? 'You'll be hearing from my lawyers, Lucasfilm!'? Heh.) We're just glad they haven't said/done anything in this regard. There have been a lot of straight laserdisc transfers and stuff as well which they've never said anything about. There have even been other split-screen comparison versions made.
