but the question is:
where's all this code that IBM gave FSF the copyrights of?
(some say FSF own all of IBMs contributions, I heard FSF owns the s390 port, the Linux source doesn't confirm any of this.)

If FSF owns the copyright, the file has to say so.

For a port you need gcc and glibc support as well.
Contributions to these projects obviously need to be done by assigning
the copyright to FSF.

ah, yes. A quick grep of the glibc sources shows that the contents of the s390 folders are copyright FSF.

thanks garloff.
