Superman as the teen in the LOSH days exists in the continuity. It should be clear without stating the obvious (calling him superboy).
That's a legal matter seperated from the fictional setting, you're getting caught up in the title (which DC still owns the trademark for), when it's besides the point.

he's getting a new origin this year (secret origin), which will be definitive. that origin will take precedence over all others.
john byrne's stuff has been retconned away, including the origin, a long time ago.
if you'd read the comics, you'd have seen just how much legion stuff has been brought back in, including clark's involvement. just because they can't outright call him superboy doesn't mean he wasn't at one point.
also:
there's no proof he couldn't have. he didn't even get the sundip so he could move the planet. he got it so he could attack warworld's interior.
scans of pre crisis superman as superboy were posted to insinuate that all those pre crisis feats are now canon because of an off series that made reference to the legion. superman has been rebooted 3 times so far and DC writers seem to be sticking to john bryne's official DC approved reboot version where there is no superboy, young superman, or superclark.
if the seigel's own the superboy copyright (i.e. his stories) then DC cannot make superman be superboy.
really? retconned by what? so far the only official retcon announced by DC was birthright which last i checked there was no superboy. DC retracted the birthright origin so that leaves bryne's. i can't wait for this latest reboot...........
ok , show proof otherwise that he could have moved warworld.
they've been using geoff johns' version for a while now. kal-el came to earth in a rocket sent by his parents shortly before krypton exploded. as a child he met mon-el, the legion, AND lex luthor. it's all been explored in the last few years worth of action comics.
he's moved objects bigger than warworld, so that would count.
byrne did erase him, yes, but byrne has been overruled by geoff johns and several other writers since then, hence no matter what he says, what he did has been altered.
Superman can take Thor, Hulk, and Hyperion in a one on one match. He can't if all of them are attacking him at the same time, unless some gimmick is thrown in.
Byrne's origin is out the window for the most part. Even counting the Byrne arc's that stayed in continuity, it's now known Clark had powers as a child again.
