The IBM public license allows it if memory serves. IANAL, but at my last
job, we re-released a library that was released to use under the IBM
public license under our own commercial license. The only requirement
was attribution to the original author. I seem to remember reading the
license to make sure of it, and feeling assured that that was indeed the
case.
Strange, but true.
