But the OS is their property. EULA and other things aside, one of

the right of the holder to decide how, where and when his or her

decide the where, when and how of the use of their copyrighted material.

Question: (for edification, not necessarily for controversy)

Can the holder of the copyright on a copyrighted (but then openly
published) cooking recipe exert _any_ control over the subsequent
preparation and serving of the associated dish

Generally, recipes are not copyrightable, and in any case the dish is
not copyrightable. So, no they cannot, under any circumstances.
