I wanted to clear up some issues regarding using other peoples ideas or content and the legal aspect of this. 1. If I wanted to write a book or article that uses someone else's idea or theory, am I allowed to do this? For example, Goldratt invented a management theory called "The Theory of Constraints". He has written multiple books on the subject. Am I allowed to also write a book on the subject or do I need the inventors permission? What are the rules regarding this type of thing?

I wanted to clear up some issues regarding using other peoples ideas or content and the legal aspect of this.
1. If I wanted to write a book or article that uses someone else's idea or theory, am I allowed to do this? For example, Goldratt invented a management theory called "The Theory of Constraints". He has written multiple books on the subject. Am I allowed to also write a book on the subject or do I need the inventors permission? What are the rules regarding this type of thing?
2. What happens if I want to use an extract of someone's article or book for a book or website content...do I just provide a link to the source of the article? How much can you quote?
Thanks,
Jon
