The premise is incorrect:  The IBM Public License contains no such
provision.  Clause 4 begins:  

  4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION 

  Commercial distributors of software may accept certain
  responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the
  like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use
  of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a
  commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not
  create potential liability for other Contributors....
