I'd imagine large commercial interests would like to put smaller breeders out of business. However, their particular business model is no longer viable when information and genetic stock is widely available - unless they get government protection. And I'd agree part of the problem is too few folks growing up on the land.
We ought to be able to model what we do on open source software, using some of the same general licenses to protect what we develop and share. That might turn the tide and make a real difference for our kids and grandkids.
