I would like to write Sojourner Tales modules set in the Dragonlance world; the IP manager for Dragonlance has told me that the company would not be licensing even those limited rights to me at this time. We would love to see a live-action movie made … but you have to talk to Wizards of the Coast to get those rights."<a href="https://trhickman.com/qa-owns-dragonlance/" target="_blank">Source</a>.It's entirely possible something has changed since then, but it seems unlikely as it would certainly have been noted somewhere.</blockquote>
