There should be an open source label on produce grown from open source seeds.
- giantg2 4y agoWouldn't it be better to labeled protected produce with patent numbers? Then you force the cost and overhead on them rather than the fledgling open-source seed movement.
- db48x 4y agoThat would be pretty hilarious. I don’t think it would really work, but what could work is labeling the seeds with precise information about what patents they embody. Farmers could then collect the seeds and store them against the day the patents expire. Once the patents are expired (which can take up to 20 years), they can start planting them with no restrictions.
