That license, I'm guessing, includes not only the name 'Zorro', but rights to the 'distinctive likeness' of the character(s). >> other Zorro-like and Zorro-inspired characters include: The Queen of Swords Batman Spider-Man The Phantom Luke Skywalker The Dread Pirate Roberts and on and on... Even Zorro himself was inspired in part by the Scarlet Pimpernel. The "idea" of a masked avenger who has a 'secret identity" is not protected by copyright, dude. Nor is any "idea."
