What would be nice, to me, would be permission to somehow integrate IBM's 
documentation as it is on the Web into the user maintained Wiki. Or some other 
way to "mash up" the Wiki information with the real documentation without 
violating IBM's copyright on that documentation. I can understand why IBM might 
not be too pleased with a Wiki which "appropriated" large portions of their 
documentation. And why IBM would be hesitant to "bless" such a Wiki because IBM 
support might get calls from a user if they used information on the Wiki and 
had a problem. IMO, support cost was the only truly valid reason to go OCO 
(which I still hate - so much so that if I had a choice of z/OS or Linux - I'd 
go Linux).
