Well, if IBM is afraid of possible future IP infringement claims then why not keeping it closed source and handing over the source code (licensing) to another company ? (maybe Serenity Systems ?)
This company could prevent IP infringement claims by paying royalties to IBM.
IBM has never been interested in SMB and home users.
This company could then target these markets, generate more revenue and hire the required developers to improve OS/2.
