6. They are not claiming copyright on all of Marx and Engels works.

What they claim is:

less well known works which have only been translated and published in recent years – as well as a number of volumes of correspondence

.

As long as their claim on copyright is limited as they say, to work not previously published and new translations, they should be able to claim that.

The bulk of the translated works of Marx and Engels are long out of copyright and in the public domain.
