If they're gonna sell his IP as a book, he'd better get a cut. (She/They?, SpikeGM pronouns always throw me. I keep wanting to pronoun Spike the character and not SpikeGM who's female.)
From memory it was never said what genra SkipeGM is.
But male/female/in-between, who cares. SpikeGM deserves to be on that book co-author.

Legally, I'm pretty sure they could successfully argue that SpikeGM gave them all that IP as a gift to do anything they want with (and SpikeGM would be unlikely to sue anyway), but not everything that'll hold up in court is a thing you should actually do.
If Spike doesn't have a copy that predates their version, he would have trouble proving prior art in a court. Also, while they don't have anything on paper, Spike and Twilight have a witnessed verbal contract with intent to remain "hands off" on the setting. How well that would hold up in court is a shrug (INAL).
That said, in a game about how Friendship is the most important power in the universe, and one of the main writers being the player who embodied that ideal, it would seem truly out of character for Twilight to not at least credit her friend with their fair share of the work. Besides, if it weren't for Spike, none of this would have happened.

Well, if the authors of F.A.T.A.L. could actually publish their eldritch abomination of a rulebook, in real life, then I don't need to use my imagination to believe a more or less cohesive group of six people (some of them with a very strong bend towards the kind of dedication and inclinations required for the job, which would probably be the main contributors) could possibly publish a setting book.
With options like Lulu and Drive Thru they don't even need to physically publish.
All this has me wondering what my old group is up to... the ones still alive anyway. Despite how easy it can be to keep in touch with people, it often seems incredibly difficult to keep in touch with people. Such is the strange nature of the internet. And people.
