I wondered if they had permission from the author's estate to make changes to the work and publish it as a new work or if the publisher somehow went rogue and did it on their own.

I looked it into it, and it appears as if the Dahl rights were acquired by Netflix.

This means this garbage is due to more woke people from the tech industry making changes because they were offended by something.


From a different culture none the less...
