 Computer giant Sun Microsystems says it will offer programming language Java to the open source community.
Java is used in more than 3.8 billion mobile phones, computers and other devices around the world. The decision to release the code under an open licence means the world can now use, develop and share Java for free. The same type of licence also covers the distribution of the core, or kernel, of the open source operating system Linux.
