For the sake of others: the title of the article is: "Some I.B.M.
Software Tools to Be Put in Public Domain".
The first paragraph reads:
- - -
I.B.M. plans to announce today that it is placing $40
million of its software tools in the public domain as the first step
toward founding an open-source organization for developers.

IBM Israel also shows goodwill - according to Captain Internet, IBM
has committed to creating a Hebrew version of StarOffice/OpenOffice
by the end of the year. Given that IBM is also behind the Hebrew
version of Mozilla, it seems that this is indeed part of a strategy.
