I have no problem with charging royalties
for something somebody has developed, such as what you mentioned concerning
the universities, but charging a royalty on something that has been
grown for a couple of centuries as an heirloom variety and unchanged from those
genetics doesn't fall into that category IMHO. If somebody put some
work into developing a new strain, even if its roots are from older
strains, its bit different than just growing something that you didn't
develop and then charging royalties like you own the rights to it, that's what I
meant by what companies like Monsanto do. They have patented things
indigenous farmers have been growing for centuries and then claim they own the
rights to it. They do a lot of other underhanded things of course but
that's what I was referring to in my post
