However, I still think that they are asking for trouble here.  It is a grey

Their acknowledgements and disclaimers will afford them some shielding, but
they sound too much like a business to make me comfortable.

I was waiting for someone to point this out.  They are indeed asking 
for trouble of the highest order.  The only way they can be perfectly 
safe is if the magazine is run non-profit.  If they make a profit, it 
doesn't matter whether or not the fan-fiction was obtained without 
payment.  They're still selling it at a profit and leaving themselves 
wide open to lawyers.
