Will Sun Microsystems open-source Java or won't it? According to comments made by its chief executive Wednesday, the answer is likely not.
During a news conference at the FOSE 2004 show in Washington, McNealy said it is unlikely Sun will open-source Java. According to a report by Government Computer News, McNealy spoke of IBM's invitation to Sun to join Big Blue in developing an open-source implementation of the Java platform.
