This is dead on. IBM pulls publicity stunts, often achieved by brute force. Then, it uses that marketing to sell contracts to customers whom they promise the world then, typically, fail to deliver on. Or as noted deliver on in the most basic way often by contractors and/or fellows (fancy word for contractors). But the money is paid, and the contract signed, so IBM got theirs. Rins repeat. Pretty easy to look back and see their amazing "innovation" every 5-10 years, which never results in any lasting product. In the in-between time, they farm employee IP via contracts taking all past and future rights, and profit on that IP ownership for no ones benefit but the IBM management. Disgusting company. Pour one out for Redhat.
