Ever heard of any country distributing Agriculture with free seeds?

I think the analogy isn't quite accurate: The seeds don't have to be gratis, but the buyer has to have the right to reproduce (and distribute) them. As in software, this used to be normal practice, until the economy evolved in a way that made this kind of 'knowledge' a commodity in itself.
The obvious counter-example is Monsanto.
