Ну вот более подробно: http://lwn.net/Articles/131554/ от туда: IBM is perfectly happy with BSD license. It will grant license for BSD-licensed software. Of course. "As published by OSI". Obviously. That is: you'll get your license (with paper trail even!), but... you'll be unable to change terms of license later (and you'll be unable to make proprietary version of PostgreSQL). FSF hacked copyright system to create copyleft. IBM hacked patent system to make non-copyleft open-source licenses copyleft as well. Pretty ingenious if you'll ask me. Think about it: by granting big pile of patents for open source projects IBM makes "MySQL business model" possible for unrelated projects! If you are open-source developer - you can just forget about patents and hack freely: you have written license to do so. Once you'll try to make program proprietary... bam: you'll get letter with royalty demands pretty soon. Kinda defeats reason to license something under BSD license, but... Brilliant, just brilliant.
