Could well be that's the case. I sort of looked at what you said initially and though that the implication was only one post-HOG future licensed by Universal for all intents and purposes that would have given us something like the Star Wars situation where every published work must fit into a pre-approved chronology and that there are no ways of telling stories where one can disregard the prequel trilogy etc.
THe thing that has plagued Galactica over the years from the print standpoint is they have episode novelizations that are (1) not presented in proper sequence. You could get away with that with the James Blish Trek adaptations since Trek is a set of self-contained stories but not in Galactica and (2) retain too much of early draft ideas, and not the final versions of what aired, thus giving us the alien picture of the Cylons still as reptiles etc. When this gets followed by Hatch's novels that didn't pay attention to chronology at all within the show, the situation was made worse.
