Hello group,

While looking for some red savina seeds, I ran across this at Sheperds
seeds.

"Note: ‘Red Savina’ is protected by the Plant Variety Protection Act. Seed
cannot legally be resold and can only be used to grow chiles for your own
use".

Does anyone know the background of this rule and why it exists. Also cannot
understand restriction on reselling the chiles.
