Sam,
I believe the IBM-Microsoft collaboration lasted thru 1.1. Not sure about 1.2
or 1.3. Version 2.0 and later were pure IBM, although any legacy code from
the earlier versions had a joint copyright. Gee, that copyright should have
expired now - it been 20+ years...
AFAIK, Copyright expires 70 (95?) years after the death of the author.
It's a shame Sonny Bono hit that tree AFTER helping pass the copyright
extentions him & Hollings (The honorable Senator from Disney!) got passed.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
