   Modification: Flowers for your garden

   Free Software is like buying flowers for your garden. If the seed of
   those flowers spreads and you get more flowers, you can give those
   seeds or flowers away if you want to. Proprietary software is like
   signing an agreement that you will never ever use or give away those
   seeds or flowers.

And accordings to my mother, in the gardening community, such an idea
would be considered madness and an insult to the craft. ;)
There are many patents on plants and seeds, see:
http://www.no-patents-on-seeds.org/
http://seedfreedom.in/learn/who-owns-the-seed/

But I like: "Proprietary software is like patented seed".
