"Sweet 16 is not a teen-magazine, nor is it a brand name for candy." (from the article)

"It is a song by Billy Idol, but that's not what this article is about" (my addition)

It's funny that we don't say "covering a [program]" but "porting..." when recreating something in the spirit of another's work.

I'd say porting isn't recreating; that's cloning or reimplementing. But yes, now that you pointed out it's curious that there are different words in different areas of interest.
