I took some time to read the IBM DDKs available for OS/2 and try to check which licenses allows the samples to create open source derivate work.


IBM OS/2 Developer Toolkit

IBM Device Driver Kit - 2004

IBM SOMobjects Developer Toolkit V. 3.0

The samples of this Toolkit says:

/* 
* 
* DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. 
* The following [enclosed] code is sample code created by IBM 
* Corporation. This sample code is not part of any standard or IBM 
* product and is provided to you solely for the purpose of assisting

* 
* DISTRIBUTION. 
* This sample code can be freely distributed, copied, altered, and 
* incorporated into other software, provided that it bears the above

*/

This mean that this samples source code can be included on other products and even released under an open source license. But remember to include the "Copyright notice and DISCLAIMER intact".
