I don’t think dark hearts motives are as nefarious as some think, yet it is an inevitable side effect of the discovery.
As far as IP goes, we are realistically are looking at a few years before full legalization and as soon as that happens, your going to see bio patents, for the really good genetics. It’s already happening.
Another thought is breeders being able to sell seed without the fear of people just reproducing the seeds themselves means we will likely see more elite genetics available to the public at a more reasonable cost. Still it sucks for people like us who enjoy breeding and sharing.
