I'm in the mood for the brain locker, but I should say that I read the
second question in the subjunctive and didn't notice the third options,
so I said "no".

In these discussions, I'm always in favor of giving out recipes for
free. I'm often on the minority side of the argument, but it's how I
feel. My cooking is a part of the gift economy, and if I can find
recipes I think will add joy to the world, I choose to give them away.
That's not to say it's wrong to charge for a recipe book, but that if I
contributed one (or ten) recipe(s) to a book by a group of friends in a
not-for-profit venture, and there was a way to do it for free, I'd
support that.
