Bug#571146: www.debian.org: add link to IBM Public License

I suspect it didn't appear there because the name isn't
distinctive and varies a bit (see below).
It looks like it's only appropriate if used by IBM (due to the
definition of Contributor), so it should probably should have a
comment along those lines next to it. So should PHP License IIRC, so
this doesn't bar it from listing.
> The license is at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/ibmpl.php
It looks like there are two versions:
1. IBM PUBLIC LICENSE VERSION 1.0 - SECURE MAILER
ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/mirrors/postfix-release/LICENSE
2. IBM Public License Version 1.0
http://www.openafs.org/frameset/dl/license10.html
Are they the same except the title and which should we link?
Thanks for your help,
