Perhaps I misinterpreted in the IBM kernel driver directory. I'm imagining a developer remotely accessing their IBM workstation. The developer could contribute to a Free and Open Source IBM driver on their own time, and reasonably insist that IBM do not get to claim ownership, the same way anyone else can. Whether that's a sensible choice of personal programming project, is another matter. It's unhelpful to muddy the waters.
