Some more information about TurboHercules

If I am not mistaken, the IBM patent threat is only against TurboHercules' commercial version, not against the Hercules project.

So, Florian Mueller is actually full of sh*t when he says that IBM is breaking their promise. It doesn't help your credibility when you lie in the title of your article.

Hercules' commercial version is the same as its OpenSource version. They just sell support.

Don't know if that's true or not, but I don't get that from the article. He says "commercialize" which implies something different than "sell support". Since we don't have the original letter, we can't say for sure what they told IBM that pissed them off. Until that is made public, I'd say it is too soon to pass judgment on IBM.
