| Then there's the open-source problem. The collaborative programming
| community, of which IBM is a significant part, shares technology
| freely with licensing terms that often are at odds with corporate
| patent licensing arrangements. IBM has made various attempts to
| put the open-source realm at ease, for example, by sharing some
| patents with open-source projects and pledging to avoid some 
| patent lawsuits.
