You think IBM did this out of patriotism or the goodness of their hearts?

To honor an employee's son who was badly wounded in Iraq, IBM Corp. plans to give the U.S. military $45 million worth of Arabic-English translation technology that the Pentagon had been testing for possible purchase.

This is the reason the article gives.

I know nothing about IBM's heart.

Sure, give them the software... but then make millions on the maintenance contract ;)
