The Dewey Decimal System is copyrighted; the one created by the [[Library of Congress classification|Library of Congress]] is not.  See the copyright holder's [http://www.oclc.org/dewey/ Dewey Decimal Classification site] which imply a license is needed, but contrast this with [http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=search&case=/data2/circs/7th/953485.html United States Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit] legal precedent.  Also, the DDC has been around since 1876; any version published earlier than 1923 - or [http://www.unc.edu/~unclng/public-d.htm When works pass into the public domain] possibly later - has passed into the public domain and is perfectly legal to use.
