Grape Licensing
I saw this the other day:
Sunset Seedless grape package
and I’ve been thinking about the implications… is it really possible to add this type of condition? I think I agree with Madisonian’s evaluation of the situation, assuming that the grapes are patented. But what if they’re not patented? Can you restrict usage of a purchased good? Thoughts would be appreciated. 
From boingboing.
