You of all people Steve must know by now that there is no "IBM" in this sense.
The compilers are sold by a "company" called Rational. The OS is sold by Rochester. The hardware by Austin.
To all intents and purposes they are separate companies.
But Jon it is IBM that profits when an IBM i is sold and licensed. IBM
also profits when users install large software applications sold by
IBM. An individual tooling provider will only see the few thousands
of dollars that they are able to charge for their product. Not the
many times that amount spent by the user on the hardware, OS, software
apps, programmers and admins.
IBM is the deep pocket here. I thnk they are the ones who have to
spend the money on their languages
