While I can't say about Wiz of Oz, books eventually fall out of 
copyright.  Since it was first published in 1900, it's likely the 
copyright on the original story has long since expired.  However, 
publishers may have copyrights on their book version, but not the basic 
story.

BTW, I just checked the Project Gutenberg site and found a few versions 
of this story.  Project Gutenberg has a lot of books that are out of 
copyright or never were copyright. Here's what that site says:

"The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum

This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.net"
