This is hard to believe! Not to mention STUPID policy, dictating the
possible end use of a product. It's like GM having a policy that says
they won't sell a truck to anyone who wants to haul rocks. How would
they enforce it anyway? I'd think that anyone but the most 
arrogant would be eager to sell their product to IBM.
