  There's always money that can be made, even if it's a "commodity" by being a knowledge person / service provider. By open sourcing, that's a signal of so much confidence on a mfgr's part that people would stick with a particular brand the existence of a recipe which can be easily replicated. Most people aren't going to bother. Knock-offs can come in and try, but probably aren't going to dent brand-affinity. Many people, especially high income people, would gladly pay for the convenience of ready-to-go product.

    > Many people, especially high income people, would gladly pay for the convenience of ready-to-go product. I'll second this. I've used the linked formula off and on, but there's not a significant difference in convenience between using it and getting food elsewhere. The mixture seems to change within a few hours of being made in a way that has not encouraged me to continue consuming it, so I have not tried preparing it in bulk. Assuming there isn't a way to make it remain appetizing for a few days after making it, it seems to be only about as convenient as weekly bulk cooking of chicken/rice/eggs/veggies/dishes that combine these things. If nazgulnarsil has made large batches of it, though, I'd love to hear about it :)
