I was under the impression that PVP protected plants prohibited the
sale/distribution of the seeds/plants/produce on a commercial. I don't think
trading small quanities of seeds amongst individuals violates that patent as
long as no money changes hand. Besides if you live in the USA I don't think
anyone is ethical from a legal standpoint. What are ethics anyway and can I
buy them somewhere since I seem to have none? Theres a huge difference
between trading some seeds and commercial distribution. You may also want to
check here for more info on PVP protected plants...
