That doesn't mean no one else is allowed to write stories where Robin Hood is a woman But it does mean that if I were to write a very similar novel with a similar gimmick she'd be able to sue me and force me to prove I didn't base mine on hers

My favourite version of this is that Van Helsing movie’s “Gabriel Van Helsing”. Technically a new character for copyright reasons because they were convinced he was ultimate franchise material.
