We all know about how, when TSR put out the original Deities and Demigods book, they got in trouble with Chaosium for printing material about the Cthulhu (and Melnibonean) Mythos. Apparently - while the copyright of the actual Lovecraft stories is in doubt - only they were allowed to write Mythos material for RPGs.
However, recently Paizo has been printing Cthulhu-related material in Pathfinder (and even sporadically in Dungeon before that), apparently without any complaints from the Chaosium people. Hence, is it now alright for any third-party company to write material with, about, or otherwise having to do with (elements of) the Cthulhu Mythos?
