The company that markets the GDW twilight 2000 product that they bought the rights to markets the challenge magazine material as part of what they bought the rights to as part of the official Twilight 2000 material. To me that shows that the material is official and thus canon. The way it is presented is that this material was part of GDW's continuing support of the game and that it is considered "official" in the same way that other material on Twilight 2000 from Loren and other authors was official and thus canon. Which is why they have the rights to it.
As compared to things like the East African, Polish, Czech and Mexican sourcebooks or the fan magazine which was published here and are definitely fan canon works that are not "officially" recognized in any way as part of the actual T2K universe.
