If there's any conflict of interest going on, it's really only resulted in Cawley being exceedingly diplomatic on the matter. Let's not forget that, at least as far as fan films go, he's the one in charge of the project with the highest profile, which makes him a juicy target for a copyright infringement suit should the regime at Paraborg turn less than cordial to such efforts. He's on the knife edge, and as such, occasionally playing nice with the studio is to be expected; to do otherwise would be suicidal.
It did take a while, though, for him to come clean on how he really feels about the redesigns.
Not saying he's sold out, but he seems a little bit reluctant to lock phasers than I suspect he would be normally.
