Unfortunately I received a negative response. They said they are not allowed 
to give out the requested information due to restrictions of the SDA.
If I would join the SDA, I would get the neccessary information. I looked at 
the SDA website and the lowest membership is iirc about 500 USD for a year, a 
sum I certainly cannot afford.
I will try to contact IBM as a next step and see if I can get any information 
from them. They have a linux developers portal, maybe it is useful.

Ciao

Andreas
