I think you will find this to be an assumption on the part of those reporting. While the new law is designed to prohibit the unlicensed use and trade in patented plant varieties, including seed, I do not think it prohobits the free trade of seed that is unpatented.
Of course the genetic modification of any naturally sustainable plant population is immoral and goes against nature, that is another arguement.
