I'm over-reacting but:
It struck me as IBM' marketting division asserting it's *authority* 
again (this time re Linux)...
   (Sort of like the TV add they had during the late 80s that
    came damned near close to claiming they'd invented fractals.)
I'm wondering how long it will be before they claim to have
   engineered Torvald's genes.  (Bha-ha-ha-ha!)
