Maybe because people who are very poor can't afford to buy seeds and they are shared and traded free of charge, amongst neighbors and friends, as a source of food. If that is the case,and as poor as they are they refuse to try to profit from those who also need food, they would like to see that tradition respected. Pay it forward rather than make a profit from it.
