1-Dude, this isn't some Doujin work. This is officially-published material. Meaning that if they tried to release this without RT giving them the OK, they would've gotten in legal trouble.

Meaning that yes, RT must have given them the OK to release this work related to one of their properties.

2-Your arguments regarding the "filler complaints" are empty. Grimm Eclipse hasn't even been mentioned in the slightest in the show, nor have any of the things "introduced" in it actually appeared in the show (like the mutant Grimm, or Jaune having the power to turn men into gods). So far, it's 100% filler. Thinking "might" changes nothing.

As for the manga, at least it was stated to be "canon until it's not", meaning RT can choose to take broad strokes with it if they want (meaning that parts of it become canon even if the work itself wasn't).

3-The manga being "fanservicey"....it was not, last time I checked. At most, Shirow's art style made the characters look "hotter" than they did in the show (when not making them look weird and uncanny), but that is not fanservice.
