If you are buying from them, then the conditions are probably stipulated by some click-through contract. In which case it might not be patent or copyright law, but contract law.
In any case, it seems that patent law is the dominant law of DNA, disgusting as that is. Copyright is of dubious application as it does not cover "facts", but the precedence of copyright applying to computer code *could* be argued to extend cover to human-created DNA sequences, which is the position I and others would take, as it allows us to also apply copyleft.

A certain biotech company has this line to their limited use license for plasmids:"No modifications to the protein coding sequence of the FPs may be made without the express written permission of COMPANY."This does not specify at all the extent of the "modification", without that specification couldn't anything be considered a modification?
