It was surprising that no one is flaming IBM yet. They're not so
friendly to opensource either
pure FUD - IBM has made available a *huge* amount of code as open source and
there are *huge* resources built and maintained by IBM to support open source.
It is not as black and white however. For example, they hold the
largest number of software patents in the world and continue to strongly
lobby for expanding the scope of patenting in the world. They even
argued to the Supreme court in US that software patents benefit free and
open source software.
