He does. His stepson, Doug Gresham, works as Quality Control and
Copyright Infringement Consultant to C.S.Lewis Pte, an agency which,
based on a quick internet search that I performed this morning, is
nearly as prickly as Harold Ober et al in protecting the copyright of
Lewis' work.
One must presume, then, that this move has the approval of the agency or
it would be so mired in legalities that it would be impossible for
HarperCollins to go ahead with this.
The original article regarding the decision is on the New York Times
website, but you have to purchase it from the archives to read it.

Ha. Very good. And true.
