He does, but he also has a very "don't cross the streams" relationship with FL. For instance, Miller insisted that no material for 4e be included in the T2k Fanzine available thru DriveThruRPG. I don't think Miller has any say in how FL handles publishing, licensing, copyright, etc. for strictly 4e products. By the same token, AFAIK, FL had nothing to do with recent semi-official T2k products for v1-2.2 like the FFE-published Korea, Pacific Northwest, and Romania Sourcebooks. When I've asked Miller about potential cross-over (i.e. multi-edition) projects, or anything directly 4e related, he's always told me (and I'm paraphrasing here), "that's not my purview; take it up with Free League".

That seems most sensible - a clean break between the two. What about Twilight:2013? Miller owns the rights to that too?

For that other game, it's getting interesting - Paizo just fired a shot across WotC/ Hasbro's brow... It's times like this I'm glad that I prefer less commercialized RPGs.
