And to back that up the company has issued a pledge not to defend 
its patents against use in open source products. So long as the 
terms of the GNU General Public License v2.0; IBM Public License 
v1.0; Common Public License v0.5; Q Public License v1.0; or any 
Red Hat open source license are followed, you're good to go.
