Like Jimmy C suggested, the issue is with the fan placing limitations on use or accusing the company of infringement.

But Jinna Asumi wasn't created by Madoka
fans. She was created by people
trolling Madoka fans. In other words, she was created by trolls.
If Jinna Asumi was created by a serious Madoka fan, I'd completely agree with you - It would
then be in really bad taste for SHAFT to steal that idea, slightly alter it, and leave their creative fan completely out in the cold.
But trolling the trolls? I have to admit I see some poetic justice in that.
But if SHAFT wants to negotiate with the trolls that created Jinna Asumi, go right ahead. Like other people here, I just think her character concept is pretty good, even if it was meant to troll Madoka fans.
