IBM nears a decade of Linux and open source
,----[ Quote ]
| After nearly a decade of active involvement in open source, IBM's commitment
| to Linux is broad and deep, said Inna Kuznetsova, the director of IBM Linux
| strategy &ndash. This vision of IBM's rapport with Linux is shared by most,
| but not all, IBM observers.

It worked out well. For their investment they received software that runs a lot
of their deployments (mainframes, servers, desktops, supercomputers, cash
registers, etc).
Last week:
IBM spells out position on business method patents in IAM exclusive
,----[ Quote ]
| IBM filed an amicus brief in Bilski arguing for a principled approach based
| on the precedents of the Supreme Court. IBM’s test would limit the scope of
| patentable subject matter to avoid granting exclusive rights to
| non-technological business methods while broadly allowing for protection of
| new technological advances. Under IBM’s proposed test, a patentable process
| must either (1) be tied to a particular machine or apparatus, or (2) cause
| transformation or reduction of an article to a different state or thing, and
| in either instance produce technologically beneficial results. IBM’s approach
| is not only consistent with the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court, it is
| also substantially consistent with prevailing international standards, \
| including those of the EPO and its member states.

IBM lets Linux programs run on Unix servers
,----[ Quote ]
| IBM Virtualization plattform “PowerVM” lets X86-Linux application programs
| run unmodified on system p servers with power processors.
|
| This ability called by IBM “Lx86”. Linux Binaries are recognized
| automatically and run under AIX exactly the same way they run under Linux.
| Thereby among other options the server consolidation will be facilitated for
| the users. Lx86 becomes part of all editions of PowerVM (before
| hand “Advanced power Virtualization”).
