I don't care about the corporate platform or indeed about the corporation itself
but I do care about people who, for whatever reason, are using them and would
be able to provide better solutions for the people who depend on their work by
"leveraging" (as they say in Fordspeak) the immense richness that open
source provides.

It is in every hardware and OS company's interests to make it as easy
as possible
for OSdevs to ensure their stuff works on their platform for the
benefit obtained by
everyone from free compilers/libraries/support apps and I have
contacted "IBM support"
highlighting this thread and suggesting generosity with licenses.

Let's see if they respond
