I did a search. So far, IBM has given 31 of their 40,000 patents to the project. I’m going to try to keep tabs on this, but I’m not expecting much more than some out of date technologies to be released.

your right. currently its a small amount, but maybe its a start. I do know that they have proposed something similar, a sharing of best practices if you will, at the designers accord.
