If your intent is to make (anything approaching serious) money off your breeding efforts, I can only think to offer the following suggestions:
Don't free-share your F1 seeds with anyone.
Don't free-share your F2 or early f-gen, still segregating lines.
Don't distribute for free your finished, stable lines.
Create your own Web site, and sell your seeds for 100% of the gross.
Go to the expense of PVP-ing your best stuff.
Only distribute seeds for cooperative grow-outs under rock solid contractual seed agreements.
Only sell seeds to seed vendors in small bulk lots under exclusive agreement deals at 25 to 33% of retail price (or some similar "consignment" price point).
Or only sell F1 hybrid seed at 50c to $1.00 per seed.
Or only sell plants at the highest price the market will bear.
