The GPL defines "derived" strictly:
The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based
on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of
it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language.
By this definition, the code that IBM contributed is (I suspect) not "derived"
from AIX.
