#3 is likely close to #2 but has an added wrinkle that might lead to a 4th scenario:

4. If you're sharing the early generations, what happens if something interesting shows up in another person's grow out. It's not what the original breeder was looking for, but interests the other grower enough that they bring it forward to stability. What would be appropriate compensation for the original crosser in this situation?
Mark - I've learned that its best to formalize any agreement associated with sharing seed for early generation growouts so there is no doubt as to the relationship and responsibility between the parties in your scenario #4. It is best to get aligned early and before there is invested effort on everyone's part.
