    No way ! These days, vegetables are like software: the mainstream ones are proprietary, owned by big firms (Monsanto, etc.) and you don't have the right nor the possibility to grow them. Yes, they are patented, copyrighted etc. Yes, there are anti-piracy measures inside to prevent them to be "pirated" (i.e. naturally reproduced).

    And the lawyers will surely tell you that Apple has been successfully suing clone vendors since the Apple II days. It isn't an Apple unless it runs Apple's boot code. If you market anything that uses that code or anything derived from it, they will sue you and win.
