- boulos 6y agoThe “recipe” itself (the ingredients, the steps) isn’t copyrightable but the surrounding text of a “recipe” can be considered copyrightable. So you can happily reproduce the statements of facts and the process. You can’t include someone’s anecdotes about how their grandfather liked to make the dish for New Year’s Eve.
- alisonkisk 6y agoIt ambiguous whether the directions are copyrightable. The less useful and more literary the directions are, the more copyrightable. But paraphrasing to extract the technical useful directions escapes infringement. https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-protect.html https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-protect.html
