Merry Ridermas!

It has been something that's been weighing on my mind when it comes to other series: how does licensing for those kinds of little things work? I imagine it'd be a simple and typical enough deal to license the series itself and any associated big movies (well, not 'easy', but you know) but for instance... I feel like any release of 555 would be criminally incomplete without the HBV, but how does the licensing and legal rights to that work? Do Toei even still OWN the original reels and footage of a DVD-exclusive half-clip show for a show from 17 years ago? And then of course, you've got this stuff which is even more minor. How do director's cuts figure into all this? Heck, how would OOO's final episode director's cut?
