Farmer Pirates Genetically Modified Seeds Submitted by J.W. Bizzaro; posted on Saturday, March 31, 2001 (1 comment) ``A multinational biotech company has successfully sued a Saskatchewan [Canada] farmer for growing its special canola without a licence. The case raised debate over new food technology. ``Monsanto took Percy Schmeiser of Bruno, Sask. to court for illegally using the company's genetically modified and pesticide-resistant canola seeds.... ``Alan McHughen, an author and plant geneticist, says the ruling clarifies that farmers can't grow genetically modified seed they haven't paid for, and if they find it growing on their land, they must destroy it.'' Full story at CBC News: [link] It'd be interesting to see if Monsanto's ``seed license'' resembles a software EULA. Otherwise, the parallels are striking. Reference by Slashdot.org.
