Sorry, I wasn't trying to start a disagreement, I was contemplating your comment ...

"They are understanably quite concerned with how that image is represented to the public."

I should have worded my response more carefully. What I wanted to convey, is that those corporations gave up that control, so it doesn't matter too much what their concerns are. They certainly realized that they could not control what is made and whether that is sold, gifted or what. And I imagine any attempts to make trademark claims would fall short since trademark laws only apply when the seller deliberately claims that the item is an original (such as a knock off).
