The comments in this thread make it abundantly clear there's nothing new about the right. Seed sharing predates your "TIL" knowledge of it.

There's nothing new about the practice. It becoming a human right would certainly be new.

That's like saying backhanding your kid is a human right. Every human on the planet practiced it forever.

    It makes more sense as a human right than the four freedoms of Free Software, tbh.

    Agriculture is absolutely critical to the survival of our species and civilization. Being able to edit and copy software code really isn't.

      The freedoms of software aren't a human right, either.

      I do think we should protect the ability to run your own code, via the law, but again, not a human right.

      Their point is doing a thing for a long time doesn't enshrine it as a right.

      The comment before could have said "should be a human right".

      imo it's very frustrating having people say "thing I want is a right". What gives them that right? Are all laws not violation of rights if you extend that
