What does Open Source Mean?
All of the results of the plant breeding experiments documented on this website are released into the public domain as open source. You can find out more at the Open Source Seeds website, but here is a summary:
Anyone may use open-source seed, grow it, propagate it and develop it further through breeding. In addition, the seed and any further developments of it may be sold, exchanged or given away within the framework of existing laws.
No one is allowed to privatise the seed and its further developments; patent and plant-variety protection are thus excluded.
Each recipient transfers the same rights and obligations to future users of the seed and its further developments.
Note: In the context of this website the word "seed" above also means things like onion bulbs and other material intended to reproduce vegetatively.

Please note that these breeding programs are conducted by an hobbyist level enthusiast and the results should be treated as such. Any use you make of the information provided on this website, or the resulting varieties, is entirely your responsibility and no liability will be accepted by Plant Alchemy (plantal.net).
