According to http://dcf.outducks.org/viewtopic.php?id=234&p=2 , Gemstone
have yet to make their final decisions regarding these things.

No need to feel cheated. Egmont announced that the Carl Barks Collection was
the definitive collection, yes. But how can Egmont guarantee that Gemstone
won't publish these books, too? It's not like Egmont can ban them from using
Barks stories, is it?
