This scheme - including this page, and its subpages, uses the copyright 2003 Dewey Decimal System. The Dewey Decimal Classification site states that a license is needed. While pre-1923 versions of the scheme are out of copyright, the fact that the scheme outlined here includes e.g. the Internet is a sign that a pre-1923 version is not being followed. Unless a pre-1923 version is switched to, this seems to constitute a copyright violation.

Note that simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright violation — it is best to write the article from scratch.

Copyright notice:

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 which imply a license is needed, but contrast this with 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 When works pass into the public domain possibly later - has passed into the public domain and is perfectly legal to use.
