I want to clarify my comment about IBM being the "exception". It seems to me that IBM has an internal struggle going on. There is Jim Russell and David Shields who do research and development work and understand the issues behind free software. The IBM management does not. Richard Stallman pointed out during the Free Software panel discussion that the license for the Jikes source is written such that at any time, IBM can shutdown the ability for anyone to modify and distribute the code. Thus failing to attain the term Open Source(TM). (i.e. you cannot call Jikes Open Source because of this.) Also, there was a recent posting to the LXNY mail list about a speaker from IBM who was going to talk about the new mailer software which could replace sendmail. The lawyers at IBM prevented this new mailer program from being released under an Open Source type license. Thus the free software battles rage inside the hallowed halls of IBM.
