Selling and making are two different things

Not if making money is fun for you.

What if you can only have fun making the puppets while simultaneously murdering someone? Following your logic, Disney endorses murder. Complete nonsense.

If there was money in it, Disney would absolutely endorse murder.

@DangitBobby Making money off of someone else's IP is illegal though.

But he was given an implicit license grant with no commercial restriction.

Technically speaking Disney can give you rights to murder anyone, it's just won't hold in court because:

- It's not theirs to give - Law > contracts and licenses

Only argument I see if that book owned by some small company, probably and LLC, that couldn't possibly give you rights to Disney IPs since they are licensing it themselves.

Nope, Disney makes money from other people’s IP all the time.

Perhaps you meant something else.

Not if that someone else permits you to do so, which is exactly what is being claimed here.

That's silly. Making money is not illegal. A contract simply cannot permit something that is illegal, such as murder.

Frogpelt kinda touched this. You can take some creative licenses for example. Feel free to use "that photo" or "that sound" but not for profit. BBC let free their sound library, and you can use any clip you want, except not for profit.

Right, but that's explicit in the license. On the other hand, it's broadly accepted that you can sell stuff that includes BSD-licensed works, despite the BSD license not explicitly saying you can.

Making puppets != making money
