Code of that sort exists simply TO be reviewed, modified, altered, butchered, hacked, and reincorporated into other projects. I've always been taught not to reinvent the wheel, but it sounds like IBM would love a large collection of perfectly round objects that can be suspended from the center and rotate. I call mine the whirl. *rolls eyes* I guess they're trying to firewall any possible accusations of infringement to just a single person's code, but by nature, talking to anybody else at IBM about your code has effectively obfuxcated it enough that even if they implemented it exactly as you described, there would be enough change that you couldn't identify where it came from, or, if you could, it would be sufficiently different enough that it wouldn't be infringement. Patented implementations, that might be different, but algorithms? gimme a break. (and don't get me started about software patents) How did they even find this out anyway? Let me know about Amentra. I'm all for a public healthcare system, a la Canada.
