花落誰家？（２）

宋以朗（Roland Soong）在反對將張愛玲遺物贈與香港大學的網誌文的留言中指出，不應將張與港大幾十年前的雞毛蒜皮事與捐贈考慮混為一談。從找尋一個長遠妥善的處理張愛玲遺物辦法的角度看，宋所言甚是。

不過，宋又指出，“auntie eileen needs to be saved not from HKU (or CUHK or whoever), but from a fate far worse.　auntie eileen needs to be saved from being declared by a Chinese court that she is state property. that would mean anyone can use her works for any purpose (such as making a situation comedy, adult video or kungfu movie out of any of her books).”

關於張愛玲身後版權誰屬的官司，我沒有認真跟進，也不大了解版權與遺物誰屬之間的關係。如宋以朗所言屬實（即張愛玲有可能被中國法院判為國家財產，任意使用），那麼，我以為張愛玲遺物不應贈與香港大學，或任何香港的大學，而應交托一間有心有力捍衛這批珍貴文物的外國學術機關管理。
