I'm not a lawyer, even in the USA. Maybe it's different in Germany, but
here in the USA, the relationships between for-profit and not-for-profit
organizations are highly regulated. IBM can (and has) given hardware or
sold hardware at lower prices to educational institutions. IBM has made
major contributions to the Open Source movement, in some cases even
releasing IBM intellectual property to the community with very few
restrictions. I live in Oregon, just a few miles from OSDL and a major
IBM installation. They are very good neighbors indeed. :) So yes, it is
definitely worth the time of at least the Gentoo Foundation getting
involved with IBM.

Of cause he didn't said something about a gurantee that IBM really would
do so. But anyway i think it's definitively worth trying.
