It's not official.

There will actually be a card.pdf. It won't matter which card you use.

Section 8 handles changes to the trademarks themselves. Section 9 handles
changes to the license.

The original publisher only.

No.

No.
The license terms only apply to the publisher.

The publisher in question would probably have a very strong "good faith"
argument if WotC tried to litigate the issue.
