To the small extent I have contributed to this list: fine with me for my
work.

But (wet blanket time)...

The readership of the list changes continually, not to mention that it
is almost certain that all WWW-page authors are not members of the list. 
I therefore would suggest that you collect the recipies you are
interested in, and, for the ones you feel you want to include in such a
publication, send the author a request for permission. I would expect
that most authors would happilly give you permission, and you would thus
sidestep all potential legal problems (possibly aside from the issue of
to what extent an email is legally binding).
