Reference isn't the same thing. Apparently Kennen's skin is a Yoda reference, but that can still be sold. The King Rammus skin is an obviously copyrighted character, so to get around it Riot gave it away, therefore not making money off of it and not breaking the copyright infringements. If it was called the Captain Jack Sparrow skin, the Black Pearl skin, or something like that, they couldn't make money off of it, but if they made a drunken pirate with hair similar to Captain Jack Sparrow, then it would be fine.
