FWIW, some IBM 360 PL/1 manuals I just looked at do not mark or claim

I've heard this also, but it may well be a myth. Here
<x-tad-bigger>http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/ims/v5pdf/DFSI10C6.PDF</x-tad-bigger><x-tad-bigger>.
</x-tad-bigger>is an IBM manual, which talks about PL/I and contains a list of IBM
trademarks (p. 13 according to Acrobat, or xi according to the document),
and PL/I is not one of them.
