Santa Clara-based Sun said it is making nearly all of Java’s source code — excluding small pockets of code that aren’t owned by Sun — available under the GNU General Public License. The same type of license also covers the distribution of the core, or kernel, of the popular open-source operating system Linux, which competes against Microsoft Corp.’s Windows operating system.
