If the documentation/specs/technical info is freely available, then someone
could certainly implement it.  Unfortunately IBM is releasing the code
they're allowing their employees to contribute as GPL, which would be an
unwelcomed addition to the BSD repository.

So unfortunately, IBM's interpretation of 'Open Source assistance' is translated
into 'Linux assistance', just like the vast majority of the bandwagon jumpers
lately.
