That fairy tale was already a TRADITIONAL story BEFORE the Grimms ever published it. They didn't even know who originally made it up.

Gideongallery. You are without a doubt the dumbest person I've ever encountered in my life.
prove it show me one publication of grimms fairy tales that include all the different versions of the story in a single publication.

grimms didn't simply retell the oral stories in writing

grimms combined multiple fairy tales into one.

in fact the story got revised /changed between printings

Many changes through the editions ? such as turning the wicked mother of the first edition in Snow White and Hansel and Gretel to a stepmother

the fact that multiple stories existed before in oral tradition doesn't automatically make the merging of those stories public domain

if it did disney's snow white would also be public domain.
