Yes exactly, I agree with that. That's why there is inherently a conflict between what the market should provide as a goal (openly reusable seeds) and the incentives to create them (making them private is the only way to properly get money out of it).

That's why, because of this conflict, I'm not advocating for private company to product seeds, it's one of those markets (like health-care or public infrastructure) where the incentives will never be align whatever law you put in place. I would therefore advocate to move seeds to public research.

And I also agree with the technology part but none of what I can think of has similar problems to the seeds.
