Yes, that is true. Barrie loved children, so he gave the rights in his will to the Great Ormond Street Childrens' Hospital in London, and whatever profit is made off of his characters in any way, part of it has to be donated to the hospital. Isn't that sweet? Did you know that if you went out right now and bought any Peter Pan merchandise, about 10% of that goes to the hospital? You have to contact the hospital somehow to maintain the rights to this classic tale.
Does anyone know who owns the rights to James Barrie's works? Is it still under copyright? I heard that he gave the rights to a children's hospital, so that everyone could enjoy his work. Is this true?
