Lyle knew it was happening and did not deny AC permission. Ideally, you want to get those words "I grant permission," but among people of understanding, these things are often unspoken, but inferred.
You and Alwyn have a creative definition of "basing" if copying and pasting is considered to be basing.

Maybe Lyle didn't explicity grant permission because Alwyn never asked for permission for anything.
