I wasn't sure where to post this question but I figured this was as good a place as any.
What if Lucasfilm "stole" a preservation/restoration? Like let's assume they decide to release the OOT on blu ray, but rather than restore the films themselves, they released one of the fan restorations like Harmy's or Team-1's or Team Blu's claiming it as their own restoration? Would they be permitted from a legal standpoint to do this given it is their film? Or, even though it was a non-profit effort, would they still have to credit the people who worked on the project? And if they didn't, would said fans who worked on it have any case if they wanted to sue?
