I am now left to wonder if IBM Watson will soon follow suit. IBM is really a very well constructed consultancy company.. I wonder if they plan to keep their IP for Machine Learning proprietary or if they see an opportunity to get more people using their technology (it has the better marketing name right now) and sell their services to a larger audience. Time will tell, but it is a very interesting time indeed.

no way, IBM is seeking to monetize it and they have good marketing lead already, everybody has heard of the chess story, but not many even heard about machine learning.
