Says here that DiC are permitted to use Sonic and his friends likeness in there cartoon, meaning that they were allowed to use him so however they please. Also after this licencing part of the Credits it goes on to say the cartoon was made for Sega of America, that means that they have directly requested to DiC that they wanted a cartoon and granted what various licencing they needed to make it for them. That doesn't mean Sega has control over it. All they did was request it. Thats what I've been telling you from the very beginning. Sega does own

Sonic OVA, Sonic X, and possibly Sonic Underground were produced by SEGA. (The copyright information for Sonic Underground says that it was copyrighted by SEGA. It doesn't say what year it was copyrighted.) Sega requested the cartoons for themselves, they have legal ownership of them but since they requested from DiC, they called the shots on what the cartoon can have or not with various Sega's permissions.
