These are not mutually-exclusive.  IBM can have a copyright on
something, and also make it available under a license.  In fact, that
is how it ordinarily works.  The author of a creative work
automatically has a copyright in that work.  And then they can provide
a license, i.e., permission to use the work under specified terms.  In
this case the license is the license described here:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt
