Carolyn Turgeon already twisted the story, by having Rapunzel become Snow White's stepmother. Fairytale character might be public domain, but that book's plot is copyrighted.

Considering how popular the Tangled animated series is, it is unlikely Disney would even allow that type of twist. Whether fans like it or not, the Disney inserts are probably the only thing, keeping ABC from cancelling OUaT. A lot of people accused Once Upon A Time of ripping off Fables, certain similarities didn't stop them with going through with the show.

It doesn't matter what the story is, but how it is handled. An idea can be similar to another but they can both end up being wildly different in the end. Which is what I think will be unique about this season. I think the season villain's have all been villanous from the get go (Even Peter Pan was a bit of a jerk in his story). This would be something to attract fans and then apply a twist and would really make them want the villain to be redeemed.
