Did you read the license? Some of the more troubling bits:
: It is the understanding of INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION
: that the purpose for which its publications are being reproduced is
: accurate and true as stated in your attached request.
(er, which attached request would that be?)
: Permission to quote from or reprint IBM publications is limited to the
: purpose and quantities originally requested and must not be construed as
: a blanket license to use the material for other purposes or to reprint
: other IBM copyrighted material.
: IBM reserves the right to withdraw permission to reproduce copyrighted
: material whenever, in its discretion, it feels that the privilege of
: reproducing its material is being used in a way detrimental to its
: interest or the above instructions are not being followed properly to
: protect its copyright.
: IBM may have patents or pending patent applications covering subject
: matter in this document. The furnishing of this document does not give
: you any license to these patents. You can send license inquiries, in
: writing, to:
: For license inquiries regarding double-byte (DBCS) information, contact
: the IBM Intellectual Property Department in your country or send
