SC - passing along recipes

[Olwen the Odd]

Hi all.  I have a question here.  I just got my hand slapped for answering a 
question wrongly.  Here is the situation;  A lot of folks in my Barony asked 
for a copy of the recipe I use for Chinese Ribs (not period obviously).  I 
posted it to our list.  Our chronicler asked me if she could put it in our 
newsletter.  I said sure and offered up that if there were interest, I (and 
others) could pass along one or two 'period' recipes for the newsletter.  
Then I got "slapped".  There were folks who started yelling about copyright 
laws.  Well, I suppose there may be some validaty to that, but where is the 
line?  For instance, if I wanted to pass along say "hen in broth" from 1000 
eggs, apparently ~ I can't!  There must be a line out there or me thinks we 
would most be in jail for even publishing the feast menus with recipes.  I 
mean, it's not like the Yeoman is a national publication.  I doubt if it 
even has a subscription of 100.

Well.  Any feedback would be nice.  Just please try not to yell..I'm 
sensitive, not stupid.
