Can you even create a recipe from scratch after you've learned the recipe from somebody else, will it not always be a derivative work at best, and a copy at worst? Sure, you can add or remove an egg, or change the order or when to add salt or pepper, but an omelette is an omelette.
- hugi 6y agoBy that reasoning, everything I will ever create is a derivative work. Which philosophically might stand up to scrutiny, but hopefully doesn't make me a walking infringement.
- imtringued 6y agoNo. Copyright only protects your works from copying. It doesn't protect against reinvention which is why we have patents.
