The Dewey Decimal System is actually trademarked and that trademark is owned by OCLC. You cannot use it without their permission.
They enforce as shown in http://www.oclc.org/news/releases/20031124.htm

That settlement was about trademark infringement. Implementing DDC in one's home library would not -- in my opinion -- be a trademark infringement as it would be solely a private, non-commercial use. But, of course, I'm not a lawyer.
