no, no this is not some magic moment of enlightenment.
similar sharing of beer recipes has occurred as long as beer has
existed.
Even properly licensed shared beer brew recipes have been around for a *very* long time.
Even the US Whitehouse got in on the action

There are even companies that share their beer trademark

The original freely licensed drink would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCola_(drink) from 2001. This resulted in a 2 page article in the new scientist (Feb. 2, 2002) that was also freely licensed (although I've not seen a copy since 2002).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Beer says:
Free Beer, originally known as Vores øl - An open source beer (Danish for: Our Beer), is the first brand of beer with an "open"/"free" brand and recipe.[3] The recipe and trademark elements are published under a Creative Commons license.[4]
Trademark number 1 was also beer related (Bass triangle).

Recipes in general are "open", are they not?
