Support IBM by doing LINUX on IBM ! Invite IBM into your Linux solutions. Let them know you support them.
Notice most coffee cups now say "caution contents may be very hot" after the lady sued McDonalds. The companies with large pockets, IBM, Intel, etc, must not become afraid to release opensource code. McDonalds needs to sell coffee, the IBM's and Intels don't need to open source.
Won't take much for some top executive to hear IBM is getting sued for $1B for giving away free code. The top executive will say, STOP giving away the code and we have one less worry.
Tie some real dollars around Linux on IBM and IBM will keep doing the right thing.
