Did you actually look at the page source? BWAHAHAHA! He wants Open Source enthusiasts to enter a competition for who can make the best "Gore for President" Linux screensaver. Yeesh.
The farmers who bought that seed signed a contract with Monstanto agreeing not to save any seed corn. They did this for the economic advantage of not having to worry about where they spray their noxious chemicals around. The fact that they'd like to break that contract should earn them no sympathy from anyone. If they had refrused en masse to sign that contract, Monsanto would have had to find another way to sell that seed.
