I've never heard that IBM is going to open source AIX. It will never be because AIX's copyright depends to many party. It already behind Solaris which has been open source. SUN will be the leader in open source community.

Sun had the same issues to work through, and they managed to do it. The truth is IBM just doesn't want to do all the hard work Sun had to.
