This looks like the IBM license I read a day or two ago. I commented on
irc after reading:
<Knghtbrd> Only the lawyers at IBM could take a two paragraph BSDish
license and make 9 pages out of it.
<Knghtbrd> they did at least add some clauses about patents
<Knghtbrd> but those parts aren't TOO long really
<Knghtbrd> obviously the lawyers get paid by the word.

reported Sunday. The result ... surprised both researchers and
sponsors, which included Intel Corp., Hewlett Packard, AT&T Research and
Apple Computer.
