"legal whirlwind if you apply the patent regime to food recipes."

Already happens, and continues to happen. You can’t say “tollhouse cookies” since it is registered along with the recipe. You can say “chocolate Chip” since that is public domain.

I want my intellectual property protected, therefore I copy-write everything, and if/when I come up with something patentable, I will apply for it. Your wish for a cost free world is not sustainable nor practical. I can choose to put my code is open source, but I’ll put a license on it that protects it. Still it’s my choice.
