If you're talking about any one of the books that come up when entering 
"Numerical Recipes" in the Amazon search box, I'd say that those recipes 
are freely usable. That's why they're in the books.

Checking, of course may be good, but if anyone publishes recipes in a 
book and then sues people for actually using them, I'd sue *them* for 
entrapment.
