Patenting genetic strains of food for crops on terraforming planets will be breeding a new type of businessman, America wanted to patent the 'pillou' rice grain...

Why? What could be the reason and what sort of attitude will this encourage, we have India, Japan, Italy and Europe and NASA orbiting the moon, shouldn't we be encouraging a democratic approach to space development with all surface planet communities?
