Ivor --
Many countries have "fair use" standards, either enunciated in law or
honored by judicial interpretation.
There is, in the US, a well-enunciated standard involving recipes --
the narrative of a cookbook may be protected, a recipe may not.
(I do not know of any infringement lawsuits involving glaze recipes,
and so I use the cookbook example as likely what a court would
rely on if the matter were ever raised).
Copyright laws differ greatly country to country. I used to live in
a country where the copyright on music 'died' after a particular
period (25 years?) and while I lived there I from time to time bought
an excellent recording of. say, Otto Klemperer conducting the Bartok
concerto for viola and orchestra (the Concertgebouw), or a CD to
replace my aged vinyl copy of Hendrix's Rainbow Bridge, which
had surely been ripped from an old record with no legal requirement
to pay for the rights.
Sale of those same items in the US would be illegal.
Best wishes -- Steve

Dear Steve Slatin ,
Thank you for your information. I will file that bit about recipes away =
for future attention.
My question becomes obsolete now that Mel has written the recipe. It =
will be interesting to read comments about the nature of this style of =
surface coating.
Best regards,
Ivor
