Its a long story and I cant remember all of it but a long time ago Shantibaba and Neville worked for Greenhouse Seeds and made all their strains, but ended up having a big falling out with Franko and left the company and took all their plants with them, so taking all of their strains, but Greenhouse kept selling the genetics, who knows what they were really selling. The info is all out their on the internet posted by Shantibaba I cant remember the name of the thread.
This is true but, you need to remember that when you "work" for someone else. General law says that the company owns the intellectual property that an employee creates, while working for that company!
Unless you sign an agreement at the time of employment stating otherwise. So then, if you work for a company and you invent anything, including a process. The company owns the rights to that and can patent
your work as their own! I know of only one engineer who actually "owned" his inventions, while working for a company. He (alone) built the radio's that went in the Apollo command module and the lunar lander's. They lived down the street from where I grew up. I went to school with his oldest son.
Shantibaba is simply pissed he lost the exclusive rights to what he created at GHS. Neville was too but, not as bitter as Baba. Arjan let them take their gear with them - right? So maybe they should quit bitchin already! Arjan buying seed and using names of strains that aren't really that...Is still done today - all day long! How fucking many "cookies" seeds sold by many well known breeders
are real! It's easier to get actual GSC now but, you better know who and where it comes from!
Shady is all over the place in seed breeders and dealers. it's the nature of the game here. You'll aways have someone whine about it.
All this has done over the years is given rise to the idea that GHS produces weak or unstable genetics.....This is not true.
Lighten up Francis!
