I don't know the answer directly. However, note that GPL (GNU Public
License) code provides access to source code. So if IBM or anyone else
modifies someone else's GPL code, you can ask for and must receive the
modified source code. And if it isn't modified, you already can get it.

I don't know what Sun's license is. But at least for GPL code, you already
have an answer.
