It is entirely up to each university or perhaps the individual researcher
as to what it does with the patent.  It can license it for profit, or
release it to the public.  Some plant breeders left the UC system, feeling
that they should individually benefit financially.  Others simply want to
leave a legacy of contributing to the community.
