No it does not. It only allows changes of license for *binaries*.

It spells this out loud and clear:

| When the Program is made available in source code form:
|     a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and 
|     b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the 
|        Program.  

which means that I can *not* distribute snippets of the IBM source
under the GPL, hence can *not* use said snippets in a GPLed project.
Regardless of whether GPL is transitive or not.
