Very interesting.... but you cannot draw a good conclusion from that. It might sound like JRR had a problem with Walt over copywrite problems, if so, why didn't Tolkien sue him??
It seems rather odd to me.
Unless, of course, the story of Snow White and Rose Red was considered public property, and that changing the names did not change the fact that it was public. *shaking her head* Does anyone know the details?
