"IBM contributed advice about computers of the future, but insisted that
their logo's be removed from the on-board computer once they realised that
it was to become an errant device (and it was on there originally -
apparently - a friend of mine was working at the Borehamwood Elstree film
studio's while it was made). IBM were even less pleased when it was realised
that HAL, the name of the computer, was IBM's name with all the letters
displaced by one character. The producers maintain that this was
coincidence, but the conspiracy theorists maintain that it was Kubrick and
Clarke having a swipe at the computer monolith."
Created more of a legend and less of a court case to deny it I should think.
