WMUK is looking into what the actual permission means legally so the recipes can be put on Wikisource :-D

So...
BrewDog, a Scotland-based "hipster brewery" - for want of a better phrase - have just "open-sourced" their entire recipe collection.
You can read more at https://www.brewdog.com/lowdown/blog/diy-dog.
It's not entirely clear what "licence" they're using but they say:
"copy them, tear them to pieces, bastardise them, adapt them, but most of all, enjoy them. They are well travelled but with plenty of miles still left on the clock. Just remember to share your brews, and share your results. Sharing is caring."
I guess "free as in beer" has a slightly different meaning now!

The Free Beer is not a new concept[1]. I've spotted (and wrote on this list about it, but got no response) a bug in FSFE's leaflets, where the phrase "Free as in Freedom not Free as in Free Beer" is used. In my opinion the mistake is in capitalization of "Free Beer" at it specifically point out to Free Beer[1], which is free as in speech.
Best regards, cmd
