ATLANTA (Reuters) - The estate of "Gone With the Wind" author Margaret Mitchell and a U.S. publisher have settled a lawsuit over a black writer's parody of the best-selling Civil War-era novel, the two sides said on Thursday.
Under the agreement, Alice Randall's "The Wind Done Gone," which a court ruled enjoys constitutional free speech protection even though it appropriates characters from the classic novel, will continue to be published with the label "An Unauthorized Parody."
