Anyone come across this before?

While wandering round a local garden centre today I stopped to admire a clematis, and on reading the label was surprised to see in bold letters "propogation of this plant is illegal". Now since a lot of the pleasure I get from gardening is from growing my own stock from one plant (and being broke it is often the only way I can increase my plants), this warning stopped me from buying, but I'm moved to ask if this is a rare happening or a new trend? Blimey! Never heard of that one before! If it's a new trend then I strongly urge all gardeners everywhere to boycott such plants - and send the breeders a very firm and clear message that they can stuff their marketeering up their warm, damp spot. Incidentally, my wife informs me that it's illegal to propagate with me....but I'm open to a spot of discreet piracy.
