That you know of. I remember IBM has always been one of the top USA
military's purveyors:

http://newspaperarchives.vassar.edu/cgi-bin/vassar?a=d&d=miscellany19700206-01.2.13

"In fiscal 1909, IBM contracted for $257,000,000.00 worth of its
products with the United States Department of Defense. 4 The importance
of IBM's military role has grown with the computerization of the
American war effort in Vietnam." (1909 is probably an OCR error, there
are many in the piece; it could be 1969).

I very doubt material from IBM can be thought of being
freedom-and-liberty loving and exempt from any governmental-friendly
"features". They just don't put it in their public spec sheets like
Intel does.
