I get your point, but what I was getting at is that every plant cross or strain was created by someone at sometime. No one owns the rights or patent.I havent seen any of those guys release s1s of other breeders work. If you get a clone only and then cross it to something then yes that's fine.
If you get the clone only and simply reverse it then that's not same as just using the cut in crosses.
Re cannarado yes 3 of his strains he worked on and created won cups. What's that got to do with reversing and making s1s though?
Someone once told me that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. As long as they give credit to the breeder, chucker, or dipshit who cares? Self pollination wont re-create the mother. You can "try" and find something similar but it boils down to dominant / recessive / homozygous genes. It could come out like shit, or better for that matter. The business is cutthroat.
I have no dog in this race, so I really don't care enough to defend either side. If the cut is that valued, they should keep it in house and release flowers to the masses. Once the cut is out, people will try and run with the hype. That, sir, is a fact.
