IBM have donated quite a bit of code already. This is one of the things
which started the whole SCO thing, with IBM being the target. There was
speculation that it was to get IBM to buy SCO, but as so much of it was
funded by Microsoft (via a holding company, afairc?), it seems unlikely
that they'd want to do that. I think it was really a huge FUD attempt,
which I have to say, had some success. I did get into some fairly hefty
debates at work about this, mainly with people of limited free software
/and/ limited copyright comprehension.
