Hamlet
The reason that Hamlet can be redone and made over is that the copyright (if they ever had one) has expired. That is the reason it is public domain. Take a book or something like that where the copyright is still in effect and try to redo it without the authors permission and see what happens.

Source code is the same. If the writer allows it, then it is in the public domain, if not then you can't use it without without their permission.
