No, you had it right the first time; it's shrinking.
Because mostly original editions or Urtext are public domain, owners
of those original copies guard them very closely to prevent someone
from using them for free, forcing them to buy or rent their modern
copyrighted edition. If someone prepares a new edition from a
copyrighted source EVEN IF THE ORIGINAL IS PUBLIC DOMAIN, they are
liable for legal action.
