Well, for what it's worth, I have emailed IBM very politely and humbly asking that they reconsider.
The most likely thing is that they are simply unaware, and if they knew about the PD community and all the work that has been done over 13 years, they might very well reconsider.
In my letter, I have pointed out among other things that PD was referenced numerous times in the Computer Music Journal, which is after all a peer-reviewed journal.

I'm sad. They will ruin the good name of Pure Data.
umm... let's hope there's no looming copyright issues over the name. IBM is not *famously* litigious, but they are a computer/software company. Watch out for lawyers
