Same as with their cancellation of Dark Sun and Greyhawk and all the
other worlds we have enjoyed.  Their copyright still stands, both legally
and from their personal preference.  They are reserving (as they legally
can) the right to re-open the line at any time.  (Which I doubt they
would for Spelljammer, but they might for other worlds, like they did for
Dragonlance, if you call that re-opening a line).

So, you can get away with writing stuff about the world, but you can't
post images or copy text from books and post it, and so on.
