I see this as a national security issue.

Thanks, so do I. IBM has been giving lots of software away to everyone lately, but to make it exclusively available to foreign lands is highly questionable. Thanks to Bill Clinton, who IBM management absolutely loved, there is little to no export control over anything software related, and these foreign goverments can use some of this new software to build "supercomputers" from clusters of cheap PC's these days. Speaking of which, IBM sold their PC division to the Chinese government earlier this year, for 1/10 of its yearly gross. Hopefully at some point these givaways will be stopped.

You haven't the slightest clue what the f**k you're talking about when it comes to IBM policies, so just shut up. You're embarrassing yourself.
