By that logic, I could claim that DTrace is a Sun-born knockoff of the tracing work IBM did years ago.

I'll call that bluff. What technology are you referring to, exactly? Or more concisely, in our 2004 USENIX paper, what piece of related work did we neglect? I'm eager to see what technology you're going to parade out as an example of dynamic instrumentation done "years ago" at IBM -- at least we'll be talking about concrete technology and not licensing!
