Well, I was wrong, moral right is perpetually inherited !!!

see here :

http://merlin.obs.coe.int/iris/2007/3/article19.fr.html

"Le droit moral est “perpétuel, inaliénable et imprescriptible. Il est 
transmis à cause de mort aux héritiers de l’auteur"

Which is absurd, ridiculous, and unmanageable after 2 or 3 generations !
(how many of Hugo's heirs are there now ?)

The court had enough wisdom, but the law allows for many disasters to 
come...
