Another scenario: cross-breeding with other crops due to bees. Your strain could get copied to the field next door: NEW problem.
And for all the evil corporations out there: make as many seeds as you can. Next put them in an airplain and spread them EVERYWHERE you can. Wait 3 yeas for the strain to spread and sew EVERYONE.
In essence you a selling a self-replicating machine not under your control ... And they don't see an issue here ?
A better way to "reward" these companies (if we want genetic mutated strains) let them prove the worth they create and pay it off by the government, since they serve the entire community. (And hope there is no corruption or abuse on the system.)
