Open-Source Soft Drinks?

Apparently, the open source philosophy has been applied to soft drinks; here is an open-source recipe for something called OpenCola. It is interesting that this, too, is a close facsimile of an already available product. The Wikipedia article on the stuff mentions that as recipes are exempt from copyright, the legal grounds for applying the open source license to this are rather shaky. I think it's more of a way to publicise the open source movement than anything more serious.
