This is not a metaphor. It is about something that is not software, for which you try to apply software reasoning. I fail to see where you want to go with this. > Now suppose that nuts are part of the ingredients list of the recipe > created by Company A.

Copyright (and copyleft) isn’t here to protect consumers, it is here to protect your intellectual property. This kind of protection should be provided by law. In many countries there a rule that forces resellers to warn consumers when there are traces of nuts in their products. You can’t take the place of such a law by using your copyright license as a vessel. -- .''`.
