They own the rights to his work, and I'm sure his estate is paid handsomely. Fleming wasn't the only source for all of the Bond universe even when he was alive (look up his feud with Kevin McClory).

The Broccoli family had done mostly right by the Bond name, and are more responsible for Bond being a household name than Fleming himself.

Also, I doubt that Fleming would have been on board with Moonraker and it's ridiculous cashing in on Star Wars. I'd also like to think he'd disapprove of the stupid invisible car from Die Another Day.

I don’t disagree at all. It is difficult to imagine that he would have felt anything other than revulsion at some of it, never mind someone like Roger Moore playing Bond.
