I say nuts to the law! Share seeds wildly and freely–as nature does. If everyone thumbed their nose at the ridiculous legislation regarding patenting organisms, the federal or state/provincial governments (whoever is responsible in your part of the world) would have to take a second look at these laws, wouldn’t they? They can’t throw every private gardener into jail–can they?
It makes me think of a book I read recently: “Underminers: a practical guide for radical change” by Keith Farnish. It isn’t any easy book to read, and many of his suggestions could be seen as illegal, but there are still useful ideas contained within it. You can read it online at underminers.org.
