Not just the AS/400 version, the LUW (Linux/Unix/Windows) version too.
In the beginning, DB2 was only for MVS (now z/OS). Then they renamed their relational database products for other platforms to DB2 - OS/2 Extended Edition Database Manager evolved into DB2 LUW and SQL/DS became DB2 for VSE and VM.
So, you could argue the only real DB2 is DB2 for z/OS. All the others are a branding exercise.
