That's a whopper of a non sequitur. I was asking about the specific patent on these potatoes. Our ancestors have been growing this specific patented version of potatoes for thousands of years? Really?
No, they have been cross pollinating parents with desirable traits to produce an offspring with more desirable traits. The same thing Pepsi did to make FC5 potato.
Here is the patent for the FC5 potato.

Read it carefully because while the patent claims that it also would apply if transgenic modifications are added, the variety was developed through just classic breeding techniques, which are described in the patent in case you aren’t familiar.

Nothing you can do with water, soil, and sunlight is going to produce RoundUp --- or a RoundUp-Ready seed.
It's perfectly reasonable to oppose all patents. Just don't pretend the wind, sun, and dirt somehow invalidate seed patents. There's no distinction to draw.
People have been sued for growing patented potatoes, unrelated to round up . . . Ok?
U take tuber u put it in ground it grows more tubers u try to sell BOOM illegal son .

emperor has no clothes but this forum is full of people who wasted their money investing it and/or get paid to work on it.
today "AI is just spicy autocomplete" gets flagged off front page.
For MONTHS, front page has been full of sub-script-kiddie level "AI" tools that are just `curl "{static_prompt} + {user_input}" http://chatgptapi`
or mediocre examples of things that would have been impressive a computer could do in 1960, but are absolutely easier to do since 2010 with google or other tools.

If everyone who bred a potato patented it, we all suffer as breeders would be limited in what they can work with.
