It is true that the base LUW server does seem to come out on all the platforms IBM supports at the same time.

However, many of the DB2 LUW options don't. As of today: DB2 Content Manager is not available on Linux or HP (although the Enterprise Editon does seem to be on Linux ?) DB2 Cube Views is not available on HP
DB2 Document Manager is not available on any Unix platform DB2 Intelligent Miner is not available on Linux or HP (although the Scoring engine is available on Linux)
DB2 Net Search Extender is not available on Linux DB2 Spatial Extender is not available on HP or Linux DB2 Warehouse Manager Standard Edition is not available on HP
