You're asking for legal interpretations of your license and it ain't gonna happen. Not no way, not no how. Your license comes in one of two forms: The IBM Agreement for Programs (aka IBM Customer Agreement, ICA) or the International Program License Agreement (IPLA). Here are a couple of points to keep in mind when you ask your legal counsel about the above agreements: 1. What you can do with "Restricted Materials of IBM" is limited by your license agreement. 2. Your license has prohibition on use as well. You may not "sublicense, assign, lease, or rent" your software to others. These words have legal meanings that I will not speculate on. Your legal counsel would have to weigh in on whether assembling your IBM code with someone else's patch and sending the output back to them violates any of the relevant portions of the license agreement. Laws vary from state to state and country to country, so don't assume anything. Regards, Alan Altmark IBM
