You didn't bother to cite any reference, so I am highly skeptical. I looked for 
this "announcement" and didn't find it.

Linux is licensed under the GPL. It does not belong to IBM, and they have no 
legal right to "close source" it, or anything derived from it. Maybe they think 
that their lawyers are powerful enough to steal the GNU/Linux operating system 
with impunity, but it is bad PR, at the very least.

Of course, they could. Db2 has been available for Linux for many years.

What is a "sysplexed Linux"?
