"Wicked" was based on characters from a copyrighted book/film, "The Wizard of Oz." What if I see something in an old film or other source material I want to use for a story, but I'm afraid of infringement? In my case, I would like to expound upon the idea of Vulgaria from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," which would include use some of the original characters.
