The very idea of "copyright" seeds is both mind boggling and abhorrent.
As someone that generally dislikes the idea of copyright, I don't disagree.
It should be "copyleft" without a way of relicensing. It comes from the commons and you shouldn't be able to lock away derivatives.
Is this organization working with biotech seeds? I didn’t see any information on that.
I guess I consider breeding and such as part of the biotech field. Though open source biotech, I also look at groups like The Thought Emporium and Open Source Ecology for open source in the biotech and agriculture fields.
Oh wow, I've seen the thought emporium on youtube and it just seemed like they were doing black magic, but I guess that's just what biotech looks like to the uninitiated. I didn't know they were active in open source biotech initiatives.
Also Amybo.org are doing open source protein fermentation.
That's awesome! I will be keeping them saved in my bookmarks too!
Yeah definitely a project worth keeping an eye on, and I think they're always looking for volunteers and collaborators
Awesome idea, sharing this with the gardeners in my life.
Also the term "copyleft" couldn't be more cringey
Not sure I really get why its cringey, having intuitive catchy ways to describe important stuff is really helpful. I usually think I'm pretty sensitive to cringey stuff, but I dont really get that vibe with copyleft I guess
Made by the same "GNU is Not Unix" (GNU) folks. Bunch of nerds really trying to keep and make the world more free.
The space to discuss Solarpunk itself and Solarpunk related stuff that doesn't fit elsewhere.
