Hi Nicollas,
I understand your point of view and I personally do not have a problem with OP breeders making money on their own work.

I am sadden (to say the least) when a so called breeder takes someone else's work and touts it as their own.

As for myself, I have made hundreds of crosses and never made even a plug nickel on any of it. I do it simply because I can. I enjoy being outside with nature and I even enjoy weeding! I do 100% of the work myself. My garden is only about one acre in size, so there is no need to hire anyone to help me.
Some folk may think I am out in left field, but I truly enjoy my view from there.
