	Cynic that I am, I notice they didn't specify *where* they weren't
	going to market, or *where* the opposition was.  Did they say
	they were scrapping the entire project? (I wouldn't expect it.)
	Maybe they reserve the right to market the junk during a future
	period of lessened oppostion?  Sounds like 3rd world countries
	can look forward to seeing this stuff sooner than one might think.

	As much as I appreciate "better living through chemistry", I want
	my open-pollinated chiles to remain terminator/Bt/whatever-the-
	hell-else-they-can-think-of free.
