IncGamers: Tolkien IP License Interview
IncGamers writes:

"We got hold of Fredrica Drotos from The Saul Zaentz Company, one of three people on the licensing team for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit IP for videogames and other bits and pieces. It's important to note, however, that even though the Tolkien estate isn't directly involved with the licensing of videogames, Drotos and her team are considered the bastions of the IP."
