DC Editorial at the highest levels greenlighted it. (Then again, right now it's about 4 guys who are dictating the current direction of the DCU and everybody gets to march to the beat of their drum, like it or not.)
DC Editorial told the writers what they wanted done (write Leslie out of the books), the writers made pitches, and they chose Bill's pitch on how to do that.
The copyright holders gave their permission. This is what THEY wanted done. This is what THEY approved of.
Can I make it any clearer?

And as for Willingham's temper? Well, he certainly has one, doesn't he? (As if no pro's ever flown off the handle on the internet before ....)
