The text of recipes have copyright protection under US law, but the
ideas behind that text (ingredients and steps) are not protected.
Therefore, someone rewriting the recipe would not be making a
derivative work. Weitzmann's problem stems from the fact that it
confuses a general audience to license a recipe under CC BY-SA because
it implies someone writing the same recipe a different way would also
have to license their work BY-SA, which isn't so.
