GPL is not always standing for GNU General Public License... as seen on a flower label. It's a company doing "plant novelty rights" called GPL international (http://www.gpl.dk/). Clearly the opposite direction compared to the freedom defined in the free software license (called GNU General Public License).

Yes, doegox ... sometime I feel lost in an ocean of
lawyers trying to protect H20.

I'd say it's fairly common to limit
multiplication / propagation here in the USA,
especially on branded plants. I see yours is
branded Sunny®.

Thanks for the info Deanna . But I think there is kind of grey area that
seeds/plant company want to keep... to avoid
the gardeners to reuse the seeds (but the
"protection" is around the
"asexual" reproduction). Especially
that the "plant" patenting is
somehow bizarre with the ability to patent a
plant found a cultivated area. It's like
being able to patent a kind of Euphorbia
naturally bring into your cultivated garden
by a bird. We should share more seeds between
US and Europe ;-)
