Can someone give me a thumbnail understanding of the legal status
of the/any
<br>
"open source license"? I am in the seed movement & you may
have heard there
<br>
are initiatives to adapt an open source format for seeds to make
them
<br>
available to the public. Yet I am uncertain about the legal status
of a
<br>
"license" in this context. Thanks a million anyone who wants to
attempt toe
<br>
enlighten me on this.
