Wow, that's a pretty tremendous blow to ZPI, and over a musical no less, LOL!
Although to be honest ZPI haven't always been the greatest shepherds of the Zorro franchise.
License to Fairbanks (who pretty much invented the Action Hero film genera, and greatly influenced Comic book Heroes) , the great republic Movie serials that inspired Lucas and Spielberg, the Power's and Disney versions are great and were all licensed with McCulley still alive.
Love this Disney publicity shot of McCulley and Guy Williams, like he's going- "I can totally play this guy..."
There was also some dubious material until the Spielberg's Amblin initiated Mask of Zorro.
The truth is during all that, other than Mark(Curse of Capistrano) the actual McCulley pulp stories remained out of print and nearly impossible to find for decades.
Not sure how/if ZPI were responsible for that?

Charlton's Gunmaster meets real-life public-domain heroes Wyatt Earp and Annie Oakley, by Dick Giordano. When the Wyatt Earp TV show was popular in the 1950s, Dell had the license to adapt it for comics. Charlton and Atlas (i.e. Marvel) took advantage of Wyatt's public-domain status and published their own Wyatt Earp comics which were careful to make Wyatt NOT look like the star of the TV show, Hugh O'Brian. So fans had three different Wyatt Earp comic books to choose from. When the show's popularity waned, the newest popular Western show was "Rawhide". So Marvel cancelled their Wyatt Earp series and replaced it with a revival of their old title Rawhide Kid in order to take advantage of the show's popularity without paying to license it.

LOL! OK that's hysterical! And somehow makes so much sense.
Anyone curious the US version is Adventure Comics #226
How do they know he looks like Peter Pan? Disney has the trademark on what Peter Pan looks like, and it's not that!
Joking aside, since you answered your own question.
Disney only trademarks their Peter-Pan look.
Hence precisely why DC's (or anyone else's) wouldn't look like Disney's.
And must be more a generic (public domain) representation of the character as seen above.
As to the characters and why they recognize him, cause (unlike the real world) they've looked at versions other than Disney's
