Companies in Japan has loose policy regarding this doujin-culture, they allow the artists to make minor profit and produce spinoff fanproduction to encourage the birth of new professionals and also helping make their franchise more popular.
Tt seems the Square Enix has different policy overseas, considering One Ups must pay license for their albums while there are tons of unlicensed, arranged SE albums in the japanese doujin markets (and the japanese websites. Type site:jp "mp3" "Final fantasy" and you will produce a lot of japanese music doujin groups).
But well, perhaps if Cellius lived in Japan, the story would have been much different. Squere Enix in USA seems has different perception of managing their artist's copyright with the Headquarter in Japan. Perhaps you should have sent email to Square Enix in Japan instead the one in the States!
Jam it back in, in the dark.
