But honestly... if you are going to publish a public domain book, starting with the most correct edition seems both the most sensible and the most ethical thing to do.
I understand why that may "feel wrong" to Harry... but I think it would be difficult, if not downright impossible, to make a sound argument as to why it actually is wrong.

I didn't think you were being insulting at all - I hoped the smiley would indicate it was a joke.
As for Harry's editions, I wasn't saying he had a legal right to prevent further distribution, but rather talking about why he wouldn't like it. I also believe he has every right to his feelings, regardless of legality.
There's also the fact that he might well take issue with someone taking his efforts and claiming them as their own.
