Wrong, wrong, wrong. It is best to think of IBM as being a coalition
of separate divisions that are both competing with each other, but
also working together. Like a trail of those eucalptus caterpillars in
some respects.
This was probably the decsion of a division VP, if it was that high.
If IBM was going open source, they would have released OS/2 to the
developers who have been asking for a few years to take over it's
continual development.
An Open Source release is fast replacing the beta-release program.
