You can't... However, you

particular implementation of an idea. That's where copyright/patent comes in. Anybody can write a trip to the moon book, for no cost and at no hindrance, but the particular string of words that make up, say ,
Rocket Ship Galileo, are owned via copyright. And you can't use
that string of words without permission legally...
