Wasn't there a close collaboration between IBM and SUSE?

IBM uses several distributions. I know that both RedHat and SUSE (and probably Canonical but I'm not sure) have IBM departments as customers.

Back in the early days of enterprise Linux, IBM wanted to avoid Red Hat becoming a monopoly so they backed SUSE (and later Ubuntu) quite a bit.

And then it got too big for IBM to pay a fortune to stop taking its pie?
