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