> Just to play devils advocate. What if you spent 10 years breeding an onion that always grows to 10lbs. You breed them over and over, using science and hard work and suddenly you have this superior thing that wouldn't exist without your work. Is it ok if someone were to take your onions and begin growing them without discourse?

Imagine if you spent the last ten years discovering pennicillin, and then, by virtue of not encumbering your discovery with patents, saved anywhere between 80 and 200 million lives.
